ABOUT ME
My partner and I have always liked to travel, and now we are taking the leap to begin traveling with our baby who is currently almost 9 months old. We are go-with-the-flow type people and hoping to start our child's life and love for travel early so she too can adopt the free spirit. Traveling is part of her education. It is part of all of our educations.

PHILOSOPHY
Take care of yourself so that you can give well to others. If you are not working towards making the world better then you might be in the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a baby! So pedestrian but still amazing every single time someone does it. I suppose I should say it was amazing to earn a PhD, but pushing a baby out of one's body is more amazing :)
