CURRENT MISSION

We just came back from a trip around the globe! It Was great and we hope to keep the spirit alive, continue to meet amazing people, contribute to others, understand more, and eat delicious foods.

ABOUT ME

We're both architects and really enjoy what we do, but our dream is to travel and understand other ways of living. We love talking to people and learning about places and cultures, helping others and spontaneous projects. We love equally the pulse of the city and the stillness of nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are project people and love working with our hands, give us some idea of what you need and we'll make it happen. We really enjoy cooking while drinking wine and are happy in the kitchen. If you have a violin or piano on hand eleanor can teach you how to play.

We love good conversation, stories, building projects, and are happy to get involved in the daily routine of your household. If you're interested in cycling we absolutely adore touring and can talk about that forever.
