  • Description

    We are adventure seekers following our hearts, striving to live life as fully as possible. We want to embrace what it means to be alive on this planet, and for us this means breathing fresh air, climbing mountains, swimming in the sea, experiencing as much of this world as possible, connecting to people while learning about different cultures and ways of life, and creating art/music. We love being outside and are into a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, swimming, gardening, permaculture, as well as art, music, photography, cooking, making natural medicine, yoga, and all of the ways we can love and support this beautiful planet.

    We were living on opposite sides of the country when we met at a wedding in Oregon, USA. Our first conversation was about our passion for traveling the world. It’s been our dream, and now 16 years later, we are making it happen. We would love to support creative, ecological, and wellness-centered projects, learn about new cultures, animals, plants, fungi, moss, etc. create art and music inspired by and in collaboration with the Earth and other humans who are making positive ecological impacts. We have had the great fortune of raising a wonderful human who is now 25 years old, so we have a lot of experience as parents and love working with children and people of all ages.
