CURRENT MISSION

We don't know where were goin', but we'll sure hit the ground runnin'!

ABOUT ME

We're a very laid back couple that couldn't have come from more opposite parts of the country. We met at a fantastic Modest Mouse concert, and fell in love in Boston. After getting laid off from both of our jobs during the same week we decided to sell everything and hit the road. After bumping around Turkey for a summer we planted ourselves at NYU. Now we're working for the man and trying to make the world a better place from the inside.

After our wedding in July, we're heading to India for a month! - Best cure for the itchy feet.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't put your wishbone where your backbone should be!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ryan - Did a home-stay with mother & daughter prostitutes in the post-communist compounds St. Petersburg.

Jenn - Obtained a delightful habit of hitchhiking indiscriminately throughout life.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is a difference between travel and vacationing.

People's morals and priorities can be unfortunate, and being able to get up and leave the sad things behind in pursuit of the positive is a great thing.
