Inspirational and passionate couple!






















































I don't know why I didn't talk about them before! I've known them for ages and they've always been close to my heart. Lisa and Olivier who recently got engaged, are a generous, dynamic and passionate couple (Oh and very sexy!). Looking for challenges and very concerned by the world environment issues, They founded their own company: GreenAer. GreenAer mission is to create a sustainable Irish Business that would have a positive impact on our society and environment. The transport sector and mobility are their particular areas of interest. They recently introduced the new REVA Electric Car in Europe (which, I think has a really cool design!)
