About Mr & Mrs Romance
Back in 2000 – on 15th September to be exact (it was a Friday) – two people met completely at random. Realising they shared the same curiosity about the world around them, they decided to explore that world together and see as much of it as they could.
The good news is we’re still together and discovering more every day. We are Mr and Mrs Romance – or Jim and Christina to our friends.
If you want to find travel tips, great recipes and restaurants, cocktails and bars, and everything else in between for you and your partner, you’re in the right place.
We’re all about finding the romance in the everyday.
Our key word is ‘together’ – that’s our secret to romance. Together we love to travel, to eat, to drink and most of all to laugh. Being serious is not one of our favourite pastimes, so please read our blog with the same smile on your face we have when we write it.
In particular we love sharing our experiences. By its very nature, sharing makes people put in what they have to offer. We think it’s really important that if you have something to share, this is the place to do it.
Some of the things you’ll find we love
We love travelling!
We certainly haven’t been everywhere, but we’ve tried to make the most of where we have been. Check out our travel section to see where we’ve been so far, what we’ve done while we were there and how we did it.

We Love Eating!
This isn’t supposed to be a food site, so don’t expect too many recipes or restaurant review. Having said that, there will be plenty of pictures of delicious food we’ve eaten (and occasionally cooked), and some great tips for parties and quick dinners.

We Love a Drink
We have a bar in our apartment, so expect some cocktails and tips on making delicious drinks for friends – or, more importantly, yourself. Jim loves beer, Christina loves champagne and we both love a good gin martini.
You can also buy our cocktail party ebook with over 35 different cocktail recipes and what you need to do to throw the perfect cocktail party!

Christina Loves Photography
It’s Christina’s work with the camera that makes my words look pretty. She’s loved taking photos her whole life. Find out some of her best tips here like how to shoot great photos at night, and check out her Postcards From series featuring some of the beautiful places we’ve been lucky enough to visit.
Jim Loves Cigars
Find out all I know about those brown sticks of hand-rolled beauty, as well as what happens on a cigar factory tour in Havana.
We both love talking and in our He Said, She Said section, you can see how different our worlds are even though we’ll probably agree with each other in the end. Probably.
But if you’re not sure where to go next, head over to our Start Here page.
Have fun exploring our site and if you want to get in touch, you can find us all over social media, you can leave a comment on any of our stories or you can check out our Contact Us page! We’ll get right back to you!
