Hi!
I'm currently traveling with my friend Ryan so we are a packaged deal! We both grew up in a small town in New England and now are our packing our bags and moving to Florence, Italy!

We are two adventurous and outgoing 25 year olds who want to see as much of the world as we can. We are open minded and pretty laid back, always down to try something new!

I, Andrea went to school for art and have been working with children and teaching art for the past few years. I love to draw and paint, but working with clay is my favorite, the messier the better.

Ryan loves to cook and experiment in the kitchen. I usually get to try most of his creations so I'm pretty spoiled on that front.

Don't take life too seriously, Everything will work out. It's a Philosophy that drives my parents crazy but it's gotten me this far in life! I like to have fun and not worry too much.
