CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible - there is just so much to see in our amazing world.

ABOUT ME

We are an easy going family who love travelling, meeting new people, and learning new things. We are looking for new adventures and think CS is a great way to experience culture while travelling to different places.

A bit more about us:

Tico
* Born in Canada, but Brazilian background
* Smart, charming, and witty (it's Bec writing this :P)
* Is a Pilot
* Loves watching & playing Soccer

Bec
* Born in England, but cheers for Brazilian soccer (yes, I'm officially a traitor :P)

Ezekiel and Tiago:
* Our two sons - They are 3 and 1 and we love having them around. They keep us busy, but are lots of fun. Ezekiel is especially interested in airplanes, helicopters, trucks, tractors, and trains (all things with wheels basically) and Tiago is at the stage where he just likes to get into everything (ex: emptying our plant pot and throwing and eating the dirt from it)

Both:
* Have been in a dragon boat race
* Love trekking to places off the "beaten path"

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest. We only get one chance to live on this earth.

"Someday, in the distant future, our grandchildren's grandchildren will spend many hours in front of boxes with fires glowing within. May they have the wisdom to know the difference between light and knowledge." Plato
