![Hey, we are Luisa and Aswin, an intercultural couple from Colombia and India. 🇮🇳 🇨🇴
Being Indian and living in Colombia comes with real differences: food, language, the little daily habits I grew up with. But somehow, Luisa makes it feel like I never really left home, while I still get to fall in love with every bit of Colombia.
That's the strange magic of building a life with someone from a different world. You don't lose where you came from, but you get to carry it with you, into someone else's world too. 🏡
7+ years into this and we're still learning each other's languages, foods, and families. Still surprising each other. Still choosing this every single day.
If you're in an intercultural relationship, or just curious what it looks like to build a life across two cultures, you're in the right place. Follow along for more of our story. ❤️

Somos Luisa y Aswin, una pareja intercultural de Colombia y la India. 🇮🇳 🇨🇴
Ser indio y vivir en Colombia conlleva diferencias reales: comida, idioma, los pequeños hábitos diarios con los que crecí. Pero de alguna manera, Luisa hace que parezca que nunca salí de casa, mientras que todavía puedo enamorarme de cada parte de Colombia.
Esa es la extraña magia de construir una vida con alguien de un mundo diferente. No pierdes de dónde vienes, pero también puedes llevarlo contigo al mundo de otra persona. 🏡
Más de 7 años después de esto, seguimos aprendiendo los idiomas, los alimentos y las familias de los demás. Todavía sorprendiéndos mutuamente. Aún eligiendo esto todos los días.
Si estás en una relación intercultural, o simplemente tienes curiosidad por saber cómo es construir una vida a través de dos culturas, estás en el lugar correcto. Síguenos para más de nuestra historia. ❤️
