Portrait

We're a young couple with a passion for travel. We have both traveled individually in the past and have started our travels together in the last two years. We are in the airline industry, so we always travel stand-by...

In addition to seeing wonderful sights when we travel, we also love to experience as much as we can of the local culture, by learning about the history and making a point of trying the foods, customs and languages.

We dream of visiting the whole world, but have a weakness for Europe with it's history and ever changing culture.
