About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fill the world map on our wall until we can only see tacks

ABOUT ME

Gwen and Ally- Two UCB students who share a passion for travel and adventure. After we graduate, we will both go to medical school! We love our studies and hope to be great doctors someday, but we also love to have a good time and live life to its fullest. As physicians, we hope to go back to developing countries and truly make a difference. Combined, we have been to most of the continents of the world and hope to meet and house people from all of them. We enjoy the finer things in life, such as cold beers and wine in a can. We love to bike, dance, cook and create and hope to share our cozy home with others who share our wanderlust.
