Adventurous, sarcastic, compassionate, curious, bilingual, former homeschoolers! In 2008, we made a pact to visit as many countries with our sons as they were years old. 18 countries would be their gift as they transitioned into adulthood. We went a bit overboard and they've visited 25! In 2019, we tired of life in the US and decided to start another adventure in Germany. We are fanatic about soccer, chess, ping pong and with the exception of Papa, books. We hate texting, we love the beach and the mountains, and our hearts break for those living in extreme poverty.
