We're living in Austin, TX for the foreseeable future. We're either skateboarding, dancing, playing magic, eating vegan nums, or chilling with our lovely cat, Dulcinea and our baby daughter, Mae.

ABOUT ME

We're a couple of vegans who enjoy good food, nice conversation, and friendly folks to share our experiences with. Grant enjoys surfing, skateboarding, rock climbing, and computer games. Jodi enjoys dancing, playing piano, cats, and anything sweet!

PHILOSOPHY

Do the least harm and the most good!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grant - There is nothing like sitting on my surfboard in the ocean and seeing a group of dolphins pass only feet away, feeling myself rising and falling with the incoming swell.

Jodi - Standing a foot away from a leatherback turtle laying eggs on a beach in Costa Rica in the middle of the night!
