Juliane and Wes met online in meditation groups. In August 2017, they arranged to talk via Skype; the conversation lasted 3 hours and they both felt that this meant something important. “I own a yoga studio, and I was almost late to teach my first class,” remembers Wesley.

Following that, the pair spoke daily, and within a few weeks, Juliane invited Wesley to visit her in Germany. "It was so exciting, I get to go Germany and maybe have some romance" says Wes. Juliane had left her husband of 21-years in 2015, and having Wesley there was “like a dream” for the first fortnight. For three weeks, the couple stayed together in Juliane’s studio apartment.

The couple began to visit each other every 7 or 8 weeks, with which they managed to maintain the relationship, until the arrival of Covid changed their plans. "We were planning to spend half this year together with extended visits, and then suddenly we went from finally having survived 3 years long distance, to now we were going to be together, to now BOOM we don't know when we could be together" says Wesley.
