About Me

CURRENT MISSION
"To create a wondrous adventure out of life and help to bring down the walls that separate cultures"

ABOUT US:
Hi! We're Jordan and Devon Christopher We are recently married as of March 2019... but, 5 years ago we left our home town in Orlando in our hippie camper van and set off to the west coast of the USA to 'see where life would take us'. Fast forward 5 years later and we've had so many incredible experiences together. We have worked and lived in California, Oregon, Alaska, St. Thomas in the Caribbean, South Carolina... &&& We are now in Big Sky Montana working the winter season! Come end of April 2020 we’ll be making our way back to Florida making stops in several stops in the midwest... we’re getting super close to hitting all 50 states especially after this road trip. So we’d loveeee to couch surf our way home to Florida. We love to make new friends... you know 'Meet as strangers and leave as friends'.

As for travel we love it, its the ultimate dream. We love the culture exchange, unknown situations, odd ball experiences, meeting all walks of life, and creating memories that will last forever. I mean that's whats life about right ?

PHILOSOPHY

'Society says you needs lots of stuff to be happy. They are wrong."

Live simply, free yourself from hatred, give more, and expect less.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a sand safari in Dubai, climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa, made friends with a Rastafarian named Zaro in Jamaica.

Touched the Berlin Wall and rode all throughout Berlin on bikes with my CS host, got way too drunk at Oktoberfest, and ate stinky cheese in the Czech Republic.

Followed a band called The Flaming Lips as they broke the the Guinness world record of the most shows in different cities in 24 hours. & I got to hug and kiss Sean Lennon on the cheek new years day 2012. ahhh the blood line of one of The Beatles!!

Went to Hawaii with one of my best friends and stayed on the North Shore of Oahu and saw Pipeline Masters. Also kayaked, zip-lined, and hiked through Jurassic Park. Slept on the beach under a sky full of stars on the Na Pali Coast and woke up next to a dog that had tattoos in her ears. Climbed the Haiku Stairs in Oahu also known as the Stair Way to Heaven and it was terrifying but I'm happy we did it.

Lived and work on the worlds MEGA VOLCANO - Yellowstone National Park- with my best friends. Took Road trips TO the Grand Tetons in my Best friends 1978 VW camper bus :)

----
Together:
Volunteered in the Caribbean and then was offered to live on a sailboat on crystal clear waters. We loved it and THRIVED!
Spent our honeymoon traveling thru Cuba for 2 weeks. WOW what an incredible experience.... maybe we can tell you all about it in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lessons we live by are..

"No one loves you more than your own body. It always fighting for you to stay alive and healthy so we must take care of it too."

"You have to love yourself first. We must take care of ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, financially etc. first. Because when we are aligned within ourselves first our joy will be contagious and we'll be able to help and take care of those we love around us".

What I Can Share with Hosts

We feel like a lot can be learn people just sharing who they are, where they are from, and stories of their own personal/travel experiences.
