About Me

CURRENT MISSION

even after a year long trip in 2010-2011, we can't get enough of the travel life. back on the road for 2013...

ABOUT ME

During our late 20s we decided we had worked hard enough and wanted to step off the "rat race track" and wander around for a year. We spent 2010-2011 in South America and Eastern Europe.

We spent a year and half back in the US working before getting restless for more travel. Russia and China are the destinations for the next few months of 2013.

We have a few weeks here in March that we might be able to host when we are not out of town. Let us know if you are passing through for a night or two!

Take a look at our travel blog at www.82liters.com for more stories and pictures.

Interests

Sports and Adventurous outdoor activities. Learning (we both ask a lot of questions - very curious people!). Documentary films.

Kasey: Just went to a Vipassana meditation course...very interesting experience! Trying to meditate on the road now.

There was a music group in the late 90s called "K-Ci & JoJo". We don't like that they stole our names!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through the Jungle in Thailand and staying overnight with local families on the floor of their bamboo huts. Seeing the Bolivian Salt Flats covered in a uniform 1-inch layer of water is pure awesomeness - I don't think we will ever top those photos.

Other stuff: skydiving in California, paragliding in Colombia, rafting and canyoning in Ecuador, hydrospeeding in Chile, surfing in Brazil and Peru, scuba diving in Thailand and Colombia, kayaking in Argentina.
