WHERE & HOW DID YOU BOTH MEET? 

Our modern love story began on the Bumble dating app in New York City, as we were swiping through endless profiles in hopes of finding the special someone to spend the rest of our lives with. With one right swipe, boom, the algorithm brought us together.

After our first date in a West Village cocktail bar, we realized we had much more in common than our dating profiles suggested. Despite being from completely different parts of the world, our international upbringing and shared experiences of living in cultures other than our own, instantly created a connection between us.

Suzy was born in Taiwan, and followed the whims of her entrepreneurial parents to the Philippines, before she landed in America for college. Juan was born in Peru, and with his family, moved to Texas during his formative years, and later to Venezuela for high school. Both Suzy and Juan moved to New York City after college to pursue their careers in Television (Suzy) and Finance (Juan). They now consider themselves New York locals and call SoHo home, while still trotting the globe every chance they get.
