oly 1We are two people with a deep passion for travel, and were lucky enough to find each other while working in aviation during the summer of 2012.

Hillary had spent time working with communities of farmers in Central America, learning about labor organizations and sustainable growing practices.

Together, we set out on various trips to the far reaches of the globe, squeezing in as much traveling as we could between life at home and work.

New horizons and working on projects near and dear to our hearts would become our new aspiration, guiding us to an alternate lifestyle that we are truly passionate about – making connections across cultures and continents!
