Data Scientist.Ballerina.Rome.: A True Story.

"A data scientist and a ballerina meet in an ice cream queue in Rome, fall in love, date long distance and the rest is history... No, this is not the premise of a new rom-com but the start of Vitality Travel's first love story." - Vitality News

It sounds like a scene from a movie

A man meets a woman in Rome, introduced by a mutual friend. They chat while they order gelato and accidentally choose the same flavour. They laugh about it and spend the rest of the week getting to know each other. They fall hopelessly in love and a year later, they're getting married.

Love at first curtsy...

It isn't a movie, but the true story of Irakli, a South African Data Scientist, and Tamar, a Professional Ballerina.

Both are 29 years old and were born in Georgia in Eastern Europe. Irakli's family immigrated to South Africa in 1994 while Tamar had spent her professional career travelling around the world, performing across major stages in Italy, France, Germany, and the United States.

Irakli says it was a last-minute trip to visit a childhood friend. But little did he know who else he would bump into.

He met Tamar in a gelateria and after a ballerina curtsy, it was love at first sight.
