Meet Joey & Esmee
Hi! We're Esmee from the Netherlands and Joey from Thailand. We met by chance on a beach on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan, and from that moment, our lives changed forever. What started as a holiday romance grew into a long-distance relationship. Today we're expecting our first baby and getting ready to start a new chapter together in Thailand.
