CURRENT MISSION Trying to have more days as a Glückspilz than a Pechvogel ABOUT ME After a bit of an absence due to my pregnancy and now new arrival, we would like to be involved again! We are an American couple with 2 young children. We have a 4-year old son and a 4-month-old son. We were actively seeking opportunities to live outside of the US and jumped at the chance when we found a job offer in Berlin. We have traveled plenty but really wanted to experience life in a new country. We love life and traveling and meeting new people are a big part of that. PHILOSOPHY “Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” -Maya Angelou "The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing." ~Daniel J. Boorstin "The capacity to blunder slightly is the real marvel of DNA. Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music." -Lewis Thomas
