CURRENT MISSION

Go on an adventure and experience life on earth to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

We are a married couple both from California transplanted to Illinois. Tobias just graduated with a PhD in biophysics in August 2012. . Sherry is a professional massage therapist most recently worked on celebrities and wealthy tourists in downtown Chicago. We're both avid video and board gamers. We love puzzles, traveling, and helping others. On weekends we enjoyed biking downtown along the lakefront and going to Church. Now we are technically homeless on a year-long round the world trip. It has been our dream for several years and has been a long time saving up for it. While abroad we want to make great friends and do a small part in making the world a better place for everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Be laid back, go with the flow.
