About Me

ABOUT ME

We are 4 minus one (our dog Toffer is back home in Canada having an extended vacation by the beach)
Joel traveled to New Zealand with Sheena so she could be a midwife... then we had Téa

left Christchurch 2 months after the February earthquake as wasn't much to stay for anymore. It's amazing when you see how much people lost and you feel fortunate for your own lives risks are easier to take... so all of our careful savings are now being spent on an around the world trip.
Countries we are traveling to: Australia, Thailand, Germany, Turkey, Ethiopia, Brazil, USA, and Canada (home with family for Christmas)

We love the outdoors and Joel has a obsession with National Parks
Sheena also loves artsy fartsy stuff, and cafes
Téa keeps us very busy she also loves the outdoors she doesn't sit still for long

PHILOSOPHY

Life is good if you want it to be.
