CURRENT MISSION

To connect to ideas and cultures, expand consciously, express creatively, and love wholly.

ABOUT ME

We are both 27 year old practical idealists. We like to enjoy ourselves. We like deep belly laughs. We like to be enthusiastic and playful. We always like to make jokes. Some of them are good and some of them are bad but then we laugh at how bad the bad ones are. We love to relax and engage in deep and meaningful conversations.

We explore and we question. Our drug of choice is coffee because we like energy and deliciousness. Our goals and dreams are constantly changing but there is always something we're working towards. Now, we are embarking upon some immense travels and the following are the purposes we've created.

We hope to enrich our lives and constantly expand by
*Connecting to new cultures, individuals, communities and environments.
*Gaining perspective and experiencing new and beautiful ways of life.
*Learning and developing organizational, creative and communicative skills.

We hope to empower and contribute to humanity and the world by:
*Sharing our own expression, perspectives, hard work and love.
*Developing an understanding of sustainable methods and technologies.
*Learning ways to create and live a more balanced and meaningful existence.
*Eventually...utilizing our understandings and experiences to create a social enterprise that encompasses our passions for sustainable living, the arts and social justice.
