WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS

SHE IS A BEAUTY FROM MAURITIUS

 HIS ORIGIN IS FROM GREECE.

THEY MET IN MELBOURNE - AUSTRALIA - WHERE THEY WERE STUDYING.

THEY LIVE NOW IN LONDON, U.K.

IF THEY ARE ASKED "WHERE ARE YOU FROM?", WHAT WOULD THEY ANSWER?

THEY CELEBRATE "INTERNATIONALITY" THROUGH THEIR LOVE.
THEIR TRAVEL WAS A SECOND HONEY MOON, THE JOURNEY OF THEIR "GLOBALIZED" LIFE HAS JUST STARTED...

MEAT BALLS SEEM TO BE THEIR FAVOURITE DISH. I CAN SEE WHY: THEY ARE AN "INTERNATIONAL DISH", FOUND ALMOST IN EVERY COUNTRY....

BUT THE ITALIAN ONES ARE CERTAINLY THE "BEST".. ESPECIALLY IF PAIRED WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY WINE AS WE DID!

THANK YOU ANGY & "DIMITRI"!
