CURRENT MISSION

My wife Liz and I are currently on a career break and exploring places in the Northwestern area of the U.S.! We have both lived in Florida our whole lives and are excited about a move to a new state. We are currently in Bend, Oregon and plan on exploring more of Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Colorado. We don't have timetables set for each destination yet, but are hoping to maximize our experience at each location. Our plan is to meet and speak with locals, visit the local attractions and tourist destinations, participate in as many adventure activities as possible, and live life to the fullest!
