Born in Hawaii and raised on the mainland, I’ve always had a passion for travel.  While I was able to travel throughout the U.S. as a child, it wasn’t until I reached Pacific Lutheran University that international travel was propelled into my existence.

I love travel because I love the challenge of the unexpected and unknown.  I’ve rarely chosen a destination because I thought it would be easy.  I want to experience the world first hand through the eyes of a local, and not a as tourist.  I love the fact that with every destination I travel to, I also learn a little more about myself.

I met the boy while reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and we haven’t looked back since.  Together we’ve decided to acquaint ourselves with the world, and ourselves.  Follow us on our journey and we strive to enrich our lives, not our bank accounts (though that wouldn’t hurt either).
