Hiya! We are a family traveling with our 1 year old daughter. We are searching for a coastal home to buy in a creative, family-friendly community. Jim is a woodworker and carpenter. Allison is a designer, artist and former ESL teacher. Birdie is a free spirited little girl who loves to be outside and free play. Originally from Austin, Texas we spent 3 years living in Prague and southern Australia. We are all lively and social people with a passion for experiencing new ways of doing things. We always love a good chat over a glass of wine or beer and are extra passionate about supporting g local food systems.
Jim says... "I am laid back and even keel. I am an advocate of all things outdoors and love to work with my hands. I grew up playing sports at all times and still enjoy all kinds of sport. I was most recently a bicycle/beer tour guide in Prague and that has really taught me how to bring people together. Meeting new people and hearing their experiencing is one of the most valuable things in my life. I believe in living in the moment and in making the most of whatever situation has been put in front of me."
Ally says... "I am a lover of all things creative, especially visuals and styling! I grew up as a competitive dancer and worked as a professional dancer in Prague. I love to express myself through any medium - dance, fashion and good old pen and paper. I love to paint and run long distances in my free time. Lately I have been interested in learning more about about healthy eating and sustainability!"Languages
