CURRENT MISSION

Travelling Europe from May on, I want to experience it with people who love their cities as much as I love Vancouver! Also looking for the God Shot of Espresso.

ABOUT ME

At the moment our main aim is to experience the world. I'm a banker, Matt's a carpenter. We're moving out of our place, putting everything in storage, filling our backpacks, and going with the wind.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything to moderation...... except on special occasions... or tuesdays.

Music, Movies, and Books

Matt - Music: Mostly anything, but Rock and Metal are the usual suspects. But I'm always looking for something new. Books: Lately a lot of non-fiction on evolution and astronomy (Dawkins, Sagan etc.), but I love a good Dickens, Douglas Adams or Tolkien for a few. Wheel of Time is a guilty pleasure.

Jac - Love fiction ect. Life of Pi, East of Eden, The Gum Thief. Anything with a great story. Movies: eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, seven, fight club, dumb and dumber, shawshank redemption, vanilla sky, Benjamin button

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Matt - China in '04 and '05 were awesome experiences. I got to work with a group that fostered disabled orphans in cooperation with the Chinese government. Very fun.

Jac - Thailand '02!

Teach, Learn, Share

Matt - I don't really get this part, but I love to learn, and love to teach. Part of Europe that draws me is the history of the west. I want to learn and share knowledge of history. I'm also a pretty good Carpenter, I'm an Apprentice currently going to Okanagan College for my second year of the course.

Jaclyn is a Make-up and Special Effects artist with a diploma from Vancouver Film school.
