OUR STORY

Mateusz​

Matty was born on the 22nd  June 1980, in Poland. He is the first of four children to be born to Henryk and Kazimiera Suchomski. After spending  his childhood in Radom, Matty moved to Krakow to study civil engineering. 

In 2009, Mateusz moved to England on a permanent basis, and 4 years later he decided to move to London. Through friends, he found a room in a house in Leyton, where he met Laura for the first time. 

 

Along came a rat

Laura returned to London in 2014 and started to hang around with the friends they both have in common. Consequently, Laura and Matty started to see more of each other. 

During a beautiful summer day, Laura decided to open the French windows leading to the garden at her place, and a huge rat run into the house and hid in the kitchen. As she got ready to hunt the beast down and mercilessly kill it, she changed her mind and called Matty, who promptly came to her rescue ;b

Three days later, Laura's housemate came back home and as she opened the door to let herself in, a sad and starved rat ran out of the house into the streets. 

One and six months later..... here we are!

 

Laura

Laura was born on the 27th September 1982 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to a Brazilian mother also from Sao Paulo, and an Italian father from Fosalta di Portogruaro. 

At the age of 19, Laura moved to London with the intention to learn English and travel around Europe. She lived in Mougins, France and Ostia, Italy, but her heart was set in Britain, so moved back. 

In 2006, Laura started a degree in Psychology and graduated with First Class honours. In the following year, she managed to secure a scholarship in Derby to pursue a Masters degree in Research (completed) and a PhD in Psychology.

 

In 2013, Laura was desperate after participants to take part in her research project, so she went to visit a friend in Leyton and harassed everybody in the house, amongst including Matty, until they all agreed to fill up her questionnaires....
