CURRENT MISSION

Savor each moment by living in the present, sharing happiness, and inspiring others.

ABOUT ME

I like chocolate and blowing bubbles underwater. I enjoy traveling, playing the guitar, mountains, photography, reading, cycling, family, sports, ping pong, the sound of waves, and huge smiles.

PHILOSOPHY

"A ship is safe in it's harbor, but that isn't what ships are built for"-
"With great risk, comes great reward"-
"your mind is a parachute, but for it to save you, you must first open it"-

Teach, Learn, Share

We both are middle school science teachers and believe in the value of spending time outside, and sharing the outdoors with others. We run summertime backpacking programs for youth, and adventure as much as possible. We are mindful of our bodies and minds and practice purposeful living in our tiny house. We would love to share travel stories over a vegan meal.
