Description
We are a couple that loves spending time outdoors, experiencing new cultures through food, and meeting new people! We are both avid hikers and enjoy spending time on the water as well, either paddling, swimming, or watersports. We also both love cycling and ran a marathon together in October. We currently live in Chicago, IL, and are looking to travel to New Zealand for several months to experience the breathtaking scenery and a new lifestyle.
Grace has worked seasonal jobs in multiple national parks, including Grand Teton and Yellowstone. She was also an accomplished swimmer in college, and spent a lot of time exploring the Adirondacks and Catskills of New York.
Jack grew up spending a lot of time outdoors on camping, hiking, floating, and fishing trips with his brother and dad. He goes on annual backpacking trips with his best friends, and is a massive soccer fan.
