Born a year apart they both grew up in Germany directly on the border to France and Switzerland. From early age on their families shared their love of travel with them. While Anne was taken to journeys around the world, Jans family was on the way in Europe, especially France. So his love for good food and wine came not by chance. Anne became an animal and nature loving person, later had her own wildlife rescue station where she raised up injured and orphaned wildlife for over a decade. Therefore she turned veterinary medicine into her profession. Annes grandma sparked her passion for baking and chocolates, so whenever possible you will find her in the kitchen, sacrificing nights and weekends to refine new recipes and improving her skills, while Jan is more than happy to play the guinea pig. Jan itself made a career in hospitality, but later shifted his preference to work outdoors and became self-employed.
Traveling to places around the world, photography was always a part of Annes life, which she later introduced to Jan. It all ended up in the craziness of them, dragging tons of equipment for miles in 38 Degree humidity through the rainforest, sleeping on the bare jungle floor and be overly excited to take pictures of a rare viper hanging next to their heads. For the majority this sounds like a nightmare of a holiday, but for them it`s what life is about. It all started back in high school, when Anne met that young lad who cared for animals as well. With his pleasing manner and his positive attitude of life he won her attention and finally her heart. Jan, born on Christmas 1982, is indeed a special guy! You can always get him for a good glas of wine and food, but make sure you have plenty of it, as he seems to be related to the very hungry caterpillar. Despite his easygoing mindset is not always fun, as well as Annes perfectionism can freak you out sometimes, in the end the mixture of both seems to work out. Since almost two decades they share their lives together, fulfill their dream to travel the world and learn what is really important in life.
