Meet the faces behind Club Soda: Korina and Michael
Four years ago, Korina set up Club Soda after getting fed up with dating apps. The idea was simple: get single people meeting in real life, out walking, having a coffee, or at a simple social evening with a fun activity.
Funny enough, Michael and Korina actually matched twice on a dating app, but never arranged a date.
Then one day, Michael was working in Dublin and popped out for his usual coffee. Standing in the queue, he spotted Korina, and they both had the same look: hang on, do I know you?
That's how it all started. A year and a half later they're still together, and Michael has been part of Club Soda for about a year. This year they've been running the walks and events together, with Michael looking after the lads and Korina looking after the ladies.
They both know how hard dating can be, and they believe there's no substitute for meeting someone face to face.
Less swiping, more chatting.
