About Me

We are an American Russian family who met through CS to travel a long long time ago, fell completely in love at first sight, and now have been married for over ten wonderful years.

Life hasn't been boring: Taylor has hitchhiked nearly 100 countries, we made remote income a reality, our son Charlie was born in China, and William in Russia...
