We met briefly at a conference in Greece while we were both working for Young Life in Europe. From there we crossed paths again in Poland, and kept in contact as friends. Many months later Gjorgi was going to coach a basketball tournament in Lithuania and dared Amanda to come... and she said why not! (And booked the tickets the next day). They started dating that weekend and have added to their list of countries traveled to together including Serbia, Denmark, and their home countries of Sweden and Macedonia.
