About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as possible / End poverty world wide / Have a beer along the way

ABOUT ME

We're pretty laid back people and we really enjoy meeting and interacting with people from other cultures. As much as we can, we are trying to dispel the myth of a typical American, even though we are usually given away for our love of root beer.

In April '10 we finished our 1 year teaching gig in South Korea, and we're exploring southeast Asia and beyond. Yeah Asia!

From January '08 - February '09, we quit our jobs to go traveled from Mexico to Argentina in Central and South America.

PHILOSOPHY

The only finite resource we have in life is time, so we should use it doing things we want to do.
