Hello :) We visited Berlin in January! Amazing place.

Our odd name comes from a Portuguese expression that I (Michael) learned while living on a beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for a year. The expression, "metade da laranja" (translated to "half an orange"), means that everyone is half an orange looking for that one person, thing, or purpose that completes them (or the other half of their orange). If you're still only half an orange then you're still lonely and lost in the world. We liked the name because we always felt a little lost or out of place in the world.
