CURRENT MISSION

On to the next adventure!

ABOUT ME

We are laid back people with passions for traveling and international affairs. We both love soccer (Jess played in college and Casey is a new pro) and music (Casey is a Latin jazz guitarist and Jess was raised by a rock-loving dad). Jessica is just finishing her Masters in Public Administration and certificate in international development with an interest in food, food policy, and agriculture. Casey works in music retail right now but is ready for a new adventure, hopefully soon to be starting school in International Relations. Casey is fantastic with languages and loves any chance to get better at Spanish! Jessica has a shameless love of coupons.

Movies: we watch a lot of documentaries (favs are King of Kong and The Corporation), and some recent flicks we've enjoyed include The Fantastic Mr. Fox, District 9, Avatar. All time favorites include Office Space, Love Actually (Casey will not publicly admit), What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Labyrinth, Princess Bride, and everyone's favorite... Shawshank Redemption.

We were obsessed with West Wing last year and often eat our dinners while watching the Daily Show.
