Our Journey
Our story began before we even knew it. Tinna was travelling for work to Brazil and wanted to use the chance to explore the beautiful Brazil. A colleague of hers recommends a travel agency "Vagari", where João was the travel agent and helped to plan Tinna's vacation.
Four months later Tinna moves temporarily to Brazil for a project at work and on her first day at work, João and Tinna met for the first time on the 4th of April. João invites Tinna for drinks with friends in the evening and they find out they have been in contact before, through Vagari. That night they discovered their common passion for travelling and adventure, and have been travelling together since then.
They started dating and travelling more frequently together....
Before Tinna's assignment was finishing, João decides to move to Denmark to be closer to her.
After few months living in Denmark, João prepares a surprise trip for Tinna, he takes her to the airport and only informs her that they would watch an opera somewhere. At the gate, Tinna found out they were going to Vienna, Austria. They get ready and head out to explore the town a bit before the concert. On their way there, they walk by the palace of Vienna and notice a cello player playing a familiar song, "In My Blood". There João proposes to Tinna..and of course Tinna accepted the proposal.
​
What a special journey that has given them the most important role of all, being parents of Gabríel. Now they dreaming of a wedding to celebrate their love, among important people that have been part of their live. Brazil seems to be the perfect place - where they met, in a town they love and will be able to reunite both families, how special.
