CURRENT MISSION

We are an international team, traveling and teaching. Writing poetry, painting pictures and raising our son with as much culture as we can.

ABOUT ME

We are a married couple with a one year old son named Jivan. We have been in Monterey for about 6 months. We are both teachers at the International School of Monterey. We will stay in Monterey until June, and then move on to Accra, Ghana to another International school. We met almost 9 years ago traveling in India, fell in love, stayed in touch, and ended up deciding to travel and teach our way around the world.

We spend time every year in Israel visiting our family there. We love to take long walks along the coast, drink yummy coffee from local fair-trade vendors, cook healthy food(vegan meals included in your stay if you are interested), browse local art galleries, hike in any of the beautiful national parks, or support our local independent movie theater.

PHILOSOPHY

Eat vegan/local, resist corporate chains, be an empowered consumer, vote, enjoy your creativity, make people laugh, laugh at yourself, teach the next generation about something others aren't teaching them.
