It has been said that “life is short”, that "children grow up so quickly”. It’s easy to become trapped in the daily rut of life, working so hard so “one day” we can reach the holy grail of retirement and only then can we truly enjoy life. We believe in dreams, setting goals and making them happen so we can enjoy every precious moment of life, starting right now.
We are a family of four, Andy and Maki and our identical twin boys Oliver and Lukas. We decided there was no better time than now to make a change in our lives, sell the majority of the company we started 13 years ago and set sail to share with our children what this incredible world has to offer. Because the greatest gift we can give one another is time and the memories we build together. Join us in the adventures of SV OliLuki as seen through the eyes of our children. Subscribe and Share as we make a positive difference in the lives of others, together.
