We met at mutual friends' house party (at the Woodson Mansion). We became good friends thanks to the Germans that were organizing house parties almost every weekend that summer. When the summer ended, I had to go back to Poland to finish my Master Degree. Even though we were far away from each other, we spoke every day and our relationship became stronger and stronger. In February 2013, Stephan worked for a few weeks in Berlin and asked if he could visit me in Czestochowa (Poland) for a weekend. Without knowing the country or language, he hopped on a polish bus and came to visit me. Afterwards, I went to Berlin for a week to spend time with him. We had a wonderful time together exploring both Berlin and Czestochowa. That winter we became officially a couple specifically, on Valentine's Day, we hung a lock on Berlin's "Love Bridge" with our names on it. We cannot wait to go back there and find our lock.
