We only take people on the weekend.

Che and Muhib married in the summer of 2014 in the Philippines, and are enjoying the biggest adventure life has to offer. Darwin arrived in 2017, Wren in 2019.

Che is from the Philippines, has worked in the banking industry for more than 10 years and adores travel, having been around SE Asia and of course the Phils extensively.

If you love someone, you will always be loyal to her no matter what the cost. You will always believe in her, always expect the best of her, and always stand your ground in defending her.

- Khalifa Boulos, in a letter to a gathering in Corinth

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Possibly that commune thing is a bit amazing...

Muhib has lived through being nearly hit by lightning, tornado strikes, been in typhoons, building fires, floods, tsunamis, and multiple large earthquakes. He has yet to experience a volcano. He's heard God's voice audibly only once.

Che has only been in three typhoons per year throughout her life.

Teach, Learn, Share

We'd like to learn about what you find important. We believe there is that of God in everyone, and so everyone has something to teach me about the Divine.

Muhib's traveled around pretty much the entire country in the eleven years he's lived here, so can recommend some sights. He knows a bit about Moroccan culture and Arabic, and Arab culture and Islamic religion. Also something of Christian beliefs, Quaker practice, biology and oceanography, science and teaching.
