CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible!

ABOUT US

We're a family of three now that we've welcomed our son, and we love to travel. We really value the experience of travelling and spent some time abroad before buying a home in the Pacific NW. We're HUGE foodies, and love having culinary adventures in new places! C's a knitter, J's a bowler, and we both love playing dominoes.

PHILOSOPHY

It's trite but true: life is short, and every day is an opportunity to experience and learn. What you do today is important, because you traded an entire day of your life for it! So get out embrace the starring role in your own adventure film!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The view from the top of Mt. Pilatus (just outside of Lucern, Switzerland) was pretty friggin' fantastic. Every way you turned, there were more mountains, more pristine blue lakes, more gorgeous fields with homes like teensy dots.

Teach, Learn, Share

Knitting in the round is easy, and it allows you to make sleeves, hats and the trunks of sweaters without doing much seaming! Just make sure that you don't twist your cast-on stitches during your initial join, or you'll be knitting a moebius-strip.
