CURRENT MISSION

explore other continents, cultures, people...

ABOUT ME

we're a young couple; looking to share our travels and adventures with other open-minded friendly people.

prefer to backpack and get a chance to really experience other cultures

constantly planning new trips, or just fantasizing about new destinations

we'd also love to host fellow travelers

PHILOSOPHY

This is one loaded topic that I can write and write on :) the philosophy that I think both of us share includes-

we live to enjoy every happy moment our lives present

..and yet we want to live responsibly.. we want to be responsible for how we contribute to the future, in terms of environment and other things that we would pass on to our children and future generations..

we believe in progress, and not big fans of radical fundamentalism, as well as conformism.

we'd like to think that we're completely prejudice-free and accepting of all races, lifestyles, orientations..

we're still romantics, but probably becoming a little more cynical with every year and every news report.. we still believe that life is a miracle, and we intend to enjoy it to the fullest..

..we want to touch and be touched, even if it's a simple act of kindness, or a smile to a stranger..
