CURRENT MISSION

Work hard. Play hard.

ABOUT ME

We "grew up" in the US and moved to Vancouver, BC Canada where we spent 5 amazing years. In early 2011 we moved to Germany to travel and because Pete got a great Postdoc position doing solar energy research at a university here. We are immersing ourselves in the language, culture, food, and of course, the beer and wine. :) We were lucky to find a great apartment with some extra space and fantastic views of the Fortress from our balcony. We love sharing home-cooked meals, outdoor adventures, and good conversation over a tasty drink with others who enjoy these things.visited 33 states (14.6%)Create your own visited map of The World or Like this? try: Worldsizer
