Life is unbearably boring? Stuck in a rut and ready for change? Or maybe you’ve just met someone who makes you question everything you think you know about what you want in life.

Heading towards new horizons and tackling all the challenges on your way to find love and happiness is scary as hell - but what could be more rewarding in the long run?
