“AS LONG AS WE ARE TOGETHER, WE ARE HAPPY DOING ANYTHING.” KEEGAN + OLIVIA SHARE THE INTIMATE BONDS OF THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES.
TRAVEL
Olivia and I love to travel and explore new places. Being a photographer, I am always looking for inspiration, and when Olivia and I are out in nature, it is not only a way of connecting us but also opening our minds and appreciating the world. We choose to go out and experience different cultures, customs and ways of life. We travel internationally at least once a year but also love seeing local areas and being on the road.
FOOD
We both love food. It is our weakness. Eating foods from all different cultures is something we share. We get stuck in the routine of eating our favourite foods and visiting our favourite cafes and restaurants, but it’s something we have always done together. We met in high school, so going to a cafe or restaurant started early on in our relationship. The evenings often end with dessert as we both have a sweet tooth.
WALKING
We walk in the afternoons together. Olivia works in a hospital and I’m always behind the computer processing images and running the business. To get out in the afternoons and walk along the coastline is rejuvenating. The fresh air and the company of each other is what makes us happy. We talk about things that we are planning or even just how our days were at work. We never run out of things to talk about.
HOME LIFE
We value each other’s opinions. When you look around our home, it has been created and styled by both of us. We made a decision to take a minimalist approach in the way we live. If we don’t use something, we don’t need it. Our home has become quite simple because of it and we enjoy spending time together in the home we have created.
RELAXING
Because of our shared love for food we tend to cook together. Our aim this year is to cook a new recipe each week. In doing so, we learn new ways of cooking and helping each other with something that can be seen as a chore. Cooking can be relaxing and a time out from our busy schedules (Keegan has probably cooked every Donna Hay recipe).
ADVENTURE
At the end of the day we are best friends. People find it odd that we both share a love for winter. We prefer snow over the warmth of summer. It wouldn’t surprise us if we move somewhere that snows. We share the same love for mountains and forests. Our dream is to live in a place that has these qualities. But most of all, we enjoy each other’s presence.
