CURRENT MISSION

Eat, drink, and carry a GPS! Trading a life of stuff for a life of adventure...

ABOUT ME

In reality the I is a we... We are Julia and Marc. I am the Julia half and meeting me pretty much guarantees meeting Marc. (We are one of those annoying couples who actually like each other). One day I had an epiphany...why was I spending my life in a cubicle waiting to take my next vacation? So we sold everything and retired to Budapest, Hungary. Now we spend every day trying to live like we are on vacation.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it. Very rarely does anyone die at exactly the right time. Most die too soon, some die too late...so LIVE your life but don't be selfish about it.
