Travelling
Description
We are a recently married couple choosing to live out our adventure dreams in this new chapter of our lives. After ten years of friendship, seeing each other through the usual life hardships, we realized we’ve had the most important things in common the whole time. We made our lives together official on Aug 9 this year, sold everything, and set off on a motorcycle trip with the goal of seeing the whole world. We find great joy in riding motorcycles, seeing the landscapes change, practicing our language skills, and making real human connections with people we meet. We are looking for our next landing spot to make a home and are interested in alternative and sustainable building techniques. We aim to travel with intention, respect, and understanding within the communities we pass through.
Erich has a degree in Biology and studied Housing and Urban Development.
Sunshine’s background is in Culture and Regional Studies and has a master’s degree in Sustainable Tourism Development.
