Description
[Eloise] Hello! I’m from a multicultural family of creatives, so I lived a bit everywhere since I could remember. I like to discover new cultures, arts and crafts. I’m really fascinated by cultures that preserve knowledge and ancient traditions with a strong relationship to spirituality. I’ve always loved doing creative things, whether it’s drawing, sculpting, engraving or taking pictures and videos, always open to learning new things. At the moment I'm really interested in learning pottery. I like to observe and capture moments with my camera where I see the beauty of everyday life, and I strongly believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way, even the smallest insignificant thing.
[Christian] Ciao! I’m from a small Italian lakeside village. I graduated in Foreign languages, worked for a creative agency and then moved to Switzerland to attend film school, where I met Eloise.
I’m a big fan of all the simple things, like sitting in crowded train stations and watching people go by, or snooping around flea markets and finding old books with little inscriptions, notes and sketches made by the people who owned them before.
I always try to put a twist of creativity into everyday life and take myself not too seriously. I’m always up to learn to look at things from other perspectives.
We're easygoing people who never get tired of learning, discovering and trying new things out.
Some of our favorite activities are cooking together or with our friends, exploring new places, taking long walks and - of course - capturing most of these moments with photos and videos (sorry, a little bit of professional deformation here!)
What we love most are stories, especially those about people. We can’t wait to hear yours!
Both of us have always been shy and insecure people with a great sense of adventure. Can you imagine the struggle? Haha!
Jokes aside, as we learned about ourselves and what we really wanted, we began to overcome our insecurities little by little.
As creative people, we love to find inspiration from the people we meet, the places we see and the experiences we live. The ultimate reason we'd like to travel differently is not creativity, but the sheer experience of it.
We just hope to make lasting friendships and core memories, pick up new skills and learn new stuff about the world and ourselves.
We want to look back one day and think “Yes, we are happy. It was all worth it”.
