CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the world together before having to "settle down" somewhere and embark on our "careers"

ABOUT ME

Joe: Poet/Philosopher/Cynic/Prep...a hippie ensconced in velvet
Graduated from UF in 2005, traveled around Europe, went to Thailand, spent 10 days at a Buddhist monestary, got my Masters at FSU, and am currently left pondering a life of servitude and consumption (the safe and "successful" American dream) or a life less ordinary.

Kaitlyn: I am finishing my last year of law school at Florida State. I love people and get stir crazy sitting behind a desk...so I'm not sure I want to be a lawyer, but we'll see! I am curious and love trying new things. I love my dog and value my close knit family. After I take the bar next summer, Joe and I plan on taking a trip around the world before we crack down and start our careers. I am looking forward to the great adventure!!

PHILOSOPHY

Joe: "Chase your bliss into the abyss and enjoy the journey..." I yearn to just pick up and leave and travel to the ends of the earth experiencing all it has to offer and am envious of all those who throw caution to the wind and really live.

Kaitlyn: "The world is your university."
"A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." -Winnie the Pooh
