CURRENT MISSION

Jess and I are currently on a year long train trip, which began in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and will eventually end in London.

ABOUT ME

Steve is a computer engineer who quits his job every three years to travel around the world. He keeps trying to write that elusive novel.

Jess is an artist who takes inspiration from her travels and daily life. She sometimes mixes cocktails to pay the rent.

We just got back from a 16 month trip around the world starting in Vietnam, up through China, across Russia on the train, down through the Baltics, and across Europe ending in London where we got married!

Now we're settling down and paying off some debts here on the west coast of the USA.

PHILOSOPHY

-A smile goes a very long way.
