CURRENT MISSION

My wife and I moved to rural Alaska in July 2014. We love what our new state has to offer and can't wait to continue our travels around the state.

ABOUT US

We are both in our early 30’s and love to travel, listen to vinyl, drink good beer, and be outside.

We're all about living simply and meeting interesting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been stung by a jellyfish in Hawaii.

Ate raw jellyfish in Alaska.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a 4th grade teacher because working with kids is much better than working with adults. My wife is currently working at Prospectors Pizza while taking classes through University of Alaska.
