CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible, and meet people from every corner of the world.

ABOUT ME

We love to travel, and meet new people.

JACOB:
I'm 26, love to play basketball, chess, write poetry, love music, any kind of food, single-malt whiskeys, red wine, and well crafted beer. I lived in France for four months when I was 19 and have traveled all the americas ( north and south ), as well as parts of Asia throughout the years. I graduated from Pacific University in Oregon with a degree in Philosophy of Ethics and Law (2011). Currently, I am in a Masters program at UCAM in the South of Spain.

ALEX:
I'm 23, and Spain has been my first experience away from North America. I love good talks, good wine and cats. I graduated from Pacific University in Oregon with a bachelors in Early Childhood Education (2013). Currently, I am in the south of Spain teaching the wonderful language of English to adults and children.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything and everybody is cool in her/his own way, unless they disrespect my familia.
