One of us was born in Santa Marta, the other in Barranquilla, just across the Ciénaga Grande wetland. We grew up in the same country, shaped by the Caribbean breeze, but didn’t meet until life brought us both to Washington, D.C. We met doing what we do best: diving into meaningful work while still finding ways to laugh, dance, and enjoy the ride. Early on, we realized we shared the same values, the same joy for travel, cultures and dancing, and a common belief in contributing to make the world a better place. What began as long conversations quickly became shared routines, spontaneous adventures, and quiet moments that felt like home. In a very short time, it became clear: this wasn’t just love that crossed borders, it was love that built something lasting.
