Christina and I, are fortunate enough to come from a family that is rich in the refugee and immigrant story.
Our grandparents from our mom’s side were Greek refugees to Greece from Asia Minor. After the civil war they
were Greek refugees in Czechoslovakia. Our mom was born there and so was Christina. In 1979, we left Czechoslovakia and went to Greece. In 1981 our family made it to Canada. We have been extremely inspired and influenced by travel, community building and diverse cultures all our lives.
