It all started with an online dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel + a coffee shop date where neither Christian nor Annabelle ordered coffee. Since that first date on June 20th, 2015, the pair has visited 15 states, 2 countries, + countless more coffee shops.

Christian was born in the Philippines, grew up in Southern California + made his way to Colorado in 2002. He works as a consultant + project manager for an IT company. Christian is the big ideas guy behind Swept Together + also edits all the audio! He's passionate about making a difference in the world through his work, which is why Swept Together is all about making sure you know this: living unconventionally is not outside of anyone's reach. If we can do it, so can you!

Annabelle was born + raised in Chicago, spent time living abroad in Sydney, Australia + Madrid, Spain, + moved to Colorado in 2008. She started her own videography business, Evergreen Lane Productions, in 2013, where she helps creative adventurers + entrepreneurs curate their own everyday adventures. Here at Swept Together, Annabelle is the details person to Christian's big picture, along with editing the vlog. She's enthusiastic about seeing as much of the world as possible - and inspiring others to do the same.
