The story about how we met is not exactly as adventurous as the journey we have been on together ever since, but never the less it is probably worth a mention. On the 25th of December 2013, yes Christmas Day to most, we met at a Christmas Party whilst back home in Gibraltar on our Christmas break. With both of us in our final year of University, Lou flew out to Thailand for a month on her veterinary placement whilst I finished off some final year engineering examinations straight after we met. Thankfully we were both at Universities in the UK, Lou in Edinburgh Scotland and myself in Newcastle England, which were close enough to make the situation a little easier once she was back in Britain.

Fast forward eight months from when we first met, we both had successfully completed our degrees, hung up our certificates and booked our one way tickets to Asia together which is where this whole journey begun!
