Description

Hello there! We are Emma (28) and James (33) from Northern Ireland. We have been a couple for over 10 years and are planning to immigrate to Canada, starting in Saskatchewan in July 2024. So far, we have made memories in South Africa, Mexico, and Europe including Italy, Spain, Portugal and Serbia.

We are both avid nature lovers and we love to get involved with all things animals! We both have strong work ethics but we also appreciate our quality time together relaxing, reading or playing games. We would describe ourselves as peaceful adventurers, who love to try new foods and experiences. We believe that life is short, and it should be spent doing things that you enjoy!
