Description

Hi!
We are Alberto and Virginia, a young couple looking forward to experiencing the world around us and learning more from other people's experiences. We've been together for four years, but we've known each other since we were kids, when we shared our journey in a local scouting group. Each of us has our own personality, with strengths and flaws, and we are proud of that. However, together, we bring out the best in each other and enjoy what happens around us even more.
Since January 2025, we have been living in the Netherlands, where we are beginning to build our life. By joining this app, we hope to meet new people, share our skills, and embrace exciting new adventures.

More about Alberto:
I'm 24 years old, curious, and eager to learn. I studied chemistry, fueling my passion for science in general. After the studies, I worked few years in local industries. I came to the Netherlands willing to discover a new country, expand my knowledge, and improve my English, with the goal of building my own business. I’ve always enjoyed cooking and practicing Italian recipes, and recently I’m practicing preparing simple cocktails for my family and friends.

More about Virginia:
I'm 25 years old and have always been a proactive and responsible person, enthusiastic about life and its opportunities. When I was 19, I traveled through England and Scotland for five months, supporting organic community farms as volounteer. After that experience, I decided to follow my passion for sustainable agriculture and animal farming in my studies as well. I completed a BSc in Agricultural Science and Technology in Italy, then moved to the Netherlands to join an MSc in Animal Sciences, specializing in Animal Nutrition. In the future, I’d like to join a PhD programme in the same field, but in the meantime, I want to explore the Netherlands and learn more about its culture. I have an advanced (C1) level of English and would love to learn Dutch.
