We first crossed paths at university, brought together by the same program. From the moment we met, there was an undeniable spark, and it didn’t take long to realize we shared so many interests: exploring new foods, enjoying similar music, and laughing at the same jokes.

As we spent time together—in and out of the classroom—our connection deepened. We found ourselves talking for hours about our dreams, aspirations, and personal values. There was an effortless quality to our conversations, as we discovered how closely aligned we were not just academically, but in our outlook on life.

The more we learned about each other, the more we understood that we were building something meaningful—fueled by shared goals, mutual respect, and a drive to grow together. What started as a chance meeting quickly blossomed into a profound bond we both recognized from the start. It became clear we were meant to continue this journey side by side, not just in our studies, but in every part of life.
