ABOUT ME

We're a Japanese-Polish couple living in Tokyo. We got married in June 2014. We both share a passion for travelling to different places.

Aiko
I stayed in Australia for 2 years with a Working Holiday Visa and travelled around South East Asia and China. I am working as a writer for a weekly magazine.
I really love travelling and my most favorite place is Tibet.

Emil
I studied Japanese and Public Relations at Warsaw University. In 2010 I studies in China for one year and then in 2012 in Japan as well. Now I work in Tokyo in a IT company as a web marketing specialist.
Triathlon is part of my lifestyle. I train everyday preparing for my first Ironman race which is 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike and 42 km run.
