Who are we? 👋
We are Andreea and Rareș, and we are two expats from Romania, currently living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. After finishing our studies in Sweden, we decided to move to the land of bicycles and windmills, to work, explore and live new lifestyles. We’ll be sharing more video content from our lives here, our trips around the world and more!
