About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding our way in a country that is both new and old to us.

ABOUT ME

We are recently married displaced Brooklynites enjoying the beauty and frustrations of this crazy country. We love our home space, but we'll never say no to a beer, a nice meal out, or a camping trip.

PHILOSOPHY

We like to have fun together, with our friends and with our world. We like to learn and to open our heads and hearts.
