About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

We are a couple, which lives a simple life. We love to play music, to go to the mountains and to the seaside, to meet together with our friends, to travel. We love to go hiking in beautiful Nature. Also we are interested in folklore dances, songs and clothing from different cultures.

We both have technical education and work as software developers. It is a very interesting profession and has one very big plus - it can be done from every place that has internet. So we often work out of our offices :)

We are vegetarians. We don't drink alcohol. We don't smoke.

PHILOSOPHY
