CURRENT MISSION

Deciding where in the world to live!

ABOUT ME

We are both very open-minded, creative, motivated and respectful.
We do well to complement one another: I love to cook, he loves to eat. I love to practice yoga, he loves to run marathons. We both love to read, write, travel, and have conversations over good food and good drinks.
We feel extremely blessed to have found one another while traveling in South America in 2010 and even after getting married we enjoy adventures and meeting people from all over the world. Hopefully someday we'll figure out where to live and get a chance to host! Until then, we're very grateful for the generosity of strangers, or rather, friends we haven't met yet!

PHILOSOPHY

Lumina loves to share and inspire others to live in the moment, believing that a strong relationship with one's own body and heart allows us to make positive changes in the world. Richard is of the understanding that life is too short to be trapped in old thinking and habits, continuously exploring oneself and the world around us can lead to true happiness
