Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” (Mark Twain)
ABOUT ME
We are a young couple from Australia, out to see the world! Although we love our work, we believe that travel is a powerful way to learn, connect, experience and grow. We love meeting new people, seeing new sights, eating new foods, smelling new scents. So... we have quit our jobs to explore the world for a year. So far, we have walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain, enjoyed the food, wine, history, art, sunshine and people of France... and decided to get married!
We feel inspired, challenged and very fortunate... and can't wait for the next part of the journey.
PHILOSOPHY
To learn constantly, to teach what we can, to remain hopeful that the sharing of cultures might lead to greater understanding of each other... and all the benefits that this could offer the world.
