CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible without "ending up in the poor house" (that's what Curtis's grandma told us would happen if we went on this trip)

ABOUT ME

We got married last year and are traveling around the world for a year before we have kids. While on our 3 week honeymoon in Costa Rica (after working like corporate desk slaves for many years with only 2 - 3 weeks off a year) we asked ourselves (and each other) how we could do this forever. The solution was to quit our jobs, rent out our place and spend our life savings on our big adventure. A little freelance writing/editing along the way helps...
We are really enjoying all of the people we are meeting and all the great countries we are visiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lindsie has completed 2 full marathons in Honolulu, Hawaii raising over $10,000 for Leukemia Research!

We climbed the tallest volcano in Bali and lived to tell the tale. Gunung Agung is 3,142 meters (10,305 feet). But couldn't walk properly for a week afterwards!

We recently volunteered in a Cambodian orphanage and spending the time reading and playing with the children was amazing.
