We were born and grew up in different countries, under very different circumstances, our educational background, professional journeys and relationship history couldn’t be more contrasting, yet everything from how we met, perhaps even when we met and clicked, how we live, work, play, learn and grow today leaves no doubt that we are soulmates.
We, that’s: Mike, the mechanic, and B (short for Birgit), the storytelling wife.
