CURRENT MISSION

To get back to the basics of life

ABOUT ME

We are a British couple, both 29, taking a 'year out', to explore, learn and enjoy life. We are currently working our way south down the west of the US having travelled west across Canada overland, and arrived in New York by sea! We both love nature and the outdoors, and are really enjoying all that the Americas have to offer.
