Activities we are interested in:

We are currently waiting on a visa application to Italy and are therefore interested in non-Schengen visa countries this spring.

Description

We love creating and finding ways to use items in new and interesting ways. We like to plan out projects and sketch them then brainstorm on ideas and make lists of materials. We enjoy the creative process as much as the completion of a project! We are an active, creative married couple who have travelled to many European destinations as well as Central America and Japan. We are flexible and adaptable and can live simply. Margaret is a former civil/environmental engineer and project manager with lots of experience in construction design and building. Kenneth is a former entrepreneur with a background in finance, food, and coffee. We are passionate about the outdoors and the environment. We enjoy sailing, kayaking, skiing, camping, backpacking, travel, gardening, and eating great food we have prepared ourselves. We also love repairing things for continued use, repurposing items, listening to music, and reading. We are always willing to try something new!
