Being an interracial couple from different continents

Let’s talk about it! We are not only from different countries, we also have different cultures and come from different backgrounds. How we make this our biggest strength and why this enriches our daily life, that’s what we want to share with you today.

Let’s make that clear: A relationship always requires a lot of commitment and effort to make it work. There will be days when you struggle. Growth is often uncomfortable, messy, and full of feelings you weren’t expecting, but it’s necessary. We really experience and learn who we are through another human being. Your partner mirrors you and your behavior is a result of his/her behavior and vice versa.

We are a good example of the fact that the language of love is universal and breaks all cultural barriers. Vanessa grew up together with her younger sister and both of her parents in a city called Essen in Germany. The word “Essen” means “Eating” by the way. Jay was born and raised in LA by a single mom of 18 y and also has a younger sister.

Both of us worked later on in “Sales’ that is why we decided to start our business together.

In 2020 we met online on Instagram and started talking on Facetime every day for months until Vanessa finally decided to visit Jay in LA and finally gave up her life in Germany to move to America.

The key to our bondage is being both open and curious about another person’s life, not only on the surface but to really t your time and research to study why your partner is how he/she is and why they do what they do. A good way of thinking is to ask yourself: What can I learn from your culture and which value can I give you with my background? We just have fun in everything we do, we make a lot of jokes about each other by taking ourselves not too s. We always communicate, we talk very direct and t with each other, very s. That saves time haha.
