CURRENT MISSION

We are early retirees who love to travel. We hope to visit all 7 continents eventually. We have visited (and sometimes lived) on 5 already.

ABOUT ME

We retired early and have enjoyed traveling throughout the world. We served as missionaries in Africa for several years and still stay in contact with the many, wonderful people we met there.

PHILOSOPHY

A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We gave ourselves a retirement gift of traveling (backpacking) around the world in 1999. We visited many of our missions throughout the world, and then served as missionaries in Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ginger loves to teach composting to people--reuse the waste!! We love to learn and appreciate other cuisines.
