Academics Kimberley Reyes and Andrew Harvey met while attending the same session. Kimberly explains how their lives - both professional and personal - benefited from that chance meeting: "When I arrived in Salzburg (my very first trip to Europe!), I expected that the seminar would be a life-changing learning experience - but I did not expect to meet the love of my life. I met Andrew on the first day of the session when we were assigned to the same working group discussion... Over a beautiful meal in the hall of the Schloss on that first night, we had a lively conversation that was equal parts red wine, global politics, and laughter. Thanks to modern technology, we kept our promises to stay in touch, and six months later we reunited in the US. Not long after, we met up again in Melbourne, where we presented a co-authored research paper at a higher education conference. Despite the distance, we have only gotten closer - and our academic perspectives have benefited greatly from exposure to both the Australian and American educational contexts. We got engaged on April 8, 2016 - a year and a half after meeting in Salzburg - and we look forward to building our lives and careers in both countries. Thank you, Salzburg Global, for bringing us together!"
