ABOUT ME

We're a young American couple. We just had a baby daughter, Ariana, born May 2013!

Moved to Auckland in September 2010. We're very interested in traveling and exploring East Asia, Scandinavia, Europe and New Zealand!

Amy: Loves animals, music, photography, video games and languages. Interested in art and computers.

Jacob: Loves food, music, video games, computers, books, travel. Interested in hunting, fishing and outdoors.

We love spending time together, going on adventures and meeting new people. We spend a lot of time on the computer, playing video games and listening to music. Then, we take a break from the digital life to explore and enjoy nature and sightseeing.

Also, we don't smoke or drink.

PHILOSOPHY

Amy: I'm always looking on the bright side of things. I try to keep live going by going from one project to the next. I love working towards goals and organizing.

Jacob: I believe in respecting others and not passing judgement. I live and let live.
