Conor & Delfina

It all began when Delfi decided to leave Argentina in pursuit of the ultimate, sun-drenched “European Experience.” Naturally, she envisioned effortless Mediterranean summers, espresso in historic piazzas, and hopping between Paris, Madrid and Rome. Instead, she applied for a job in Ireland, got hired on the spot, and before she could check a weather forecast realised she had almost made it to mainland Europe, only to settle in a windy island on the edge of the Atlantic.

Meanwhile, Conor had just moved back home to Leixlip, Co. Kildare after five years of living in Sweden, trading Scandinavian winters and flat-pack furniture for familiar Kildare rain.

There is an ancient East Asian legend called the Red Thread of Fate, which says that two people destined for one another are connected by an invisible red thread. It doesn’t matter if they are born on opposite sides of the world, or if the thread has to stretch and tangle its way from Buenos Aires to Luleå, and finally to a corporate office in Ireland. The thread may stretch, but it never breaks.

In a stroke of fate, Conor and Delfi walked through the doors of the same new company within three weeks of each other. What started as onboarding small talk quickly proved the theory right, and the rest is history.
