Our Love Story

Liezel was living in the Netherlands and Fritz in Botswana—two people on opposite sides of the world who might never have crossed paths under ordinary circumstances. With a wedding in Langebaan approaching, Liezel decided to download a dating app, hoping to find someone who could join her for the occasion.

When she and Fritz matched, their conversation flowed effortlessly. Within days they had uncovered a shared curiosity for the world, a mutual love of travel, and—most importantly—a joint weakness for Aperol Spritz and gelato. It was the kind of connection that felt both unexpected and strangely inevitable.

That spark grew quickly, and before long they had already booked a trip together—an impulsive decision that somehow felt completely natural. Even across continents, the connection deepened. Eventually, Fritz flew to the Netherlands, where Liezel picked him up at the airport, ready for what would become their unforgettable ten-day first date.

Those days were filled with everything from exploring the streets of Rotterdam to singing along at a Blink-182 concert to wandering through the sun-soaked landscapes of Croatia. Somewhere between the shared sunsets, clinking Aperol Spritzes, and hunting down the best gelato in every town, a simple match became the beginning of a remarkable story.
