Welcome to our home, and our personal love story. Romance often springs from surprising sources. Modern day love stories are lived every moment. Sometimes a dashing young man (comme mon poulet, Christophe) travels abroad for studies, military service, or to visit a distant relative with the full intentions of returning home, when suddenly, he is captivated by the charms of an exotic young maiden! Before he can escape the sting of cupid's happy arrow, he finds himself an immigrant living in a strange land for the rest of his life

Other times cupid strikes the lovely young lady (c'est moi!), who is probably quite ordinary in her own land, and without warning, the courageous young foreigner steals her heart and runs with it to some far away place she cannot even pronounce!  Whether you are the hero or the maiden, the person leaving or staying, or just an innocent bystander observing the quirks of a relationship in transit, we would like to share some of what we've learned with you. Think of it as a survival guide for those who dare to step beyond the ordinary into the world of the unknown; The Cross-Cultural Relationship!
