Life is complicated—we all know that, without even mentioning the relationships. Dealing with different cultures sounds even more complex, huh? What about getting stuck for months in a house during your honeymoon because a devastating virus hit the whole world in a matter of a few weeks, giving no time to pack? Well, nothing seems to be impossible for us.

My name is Milia, and I am an Indonesian pharmacist. My husband, Matteo, is a creative Italian illustrator, and we both have a passion for art. A few months ago, we were living the dream in Bali, got married on a remote tropical island, and moved for a while to Italy for the honeymoon and gathering with the family. Shortly after, the lockdown forced us to stay.

No drama, just opportunities, so we began to share our daily life bridging cultural gaps with funny illustrations. Spicy food, painful yoga, romantic moments, huge portions, overloaded bikes, sweet hopes, and much more. Our life seems to be an endless adventure! Scroll down to see our couple illustrations, and don’t forget to upvote the best!

Primo piatto, gotta wait for the secondo piatto and dessert. Now, where's the antipasto?

In Spain we have also started, first meal, main one and dessert but the "prime piatto" in Italy is huge even for us.

I'd love to see the reaction to American food portions.

No. Not "all" of it. Just eat what you can. If he tries to force you to eat it all ... have him charged with abuse, you silly woman!

This is me when I sleep in too late and the light is showing through the closed blinds.

Asians do this everywhere. My aunt covers her entire body - gloves, hat and mask and refuses to sit in front passenger seat. She only sits in the middle of back seat to hide from the sun. Crazy woman.
