When we meet new people and they ask us how we met, we produce the same line: ‘We met skiing in the french alps’. It sounds extremely romantic but in truth, the strength of our relationship comes from having survived what can only be described as a delinquent booze cruise with snow. Details omitted. In the following months we visited each other in the US and UK and despite the 3000 mile flights we took to see each other, we tried to play it cool. Since then we’ve crossed the pond countless times, fought through Visa blockages in both British and American English, and brought a dog along for the ride!
