CURRENT MISSION

We're taking the long way home after living in Namibia for two years as Peace Corps Volunteers

ABOUT ME

We're taking the long way home after spending two years in Namibia as Peace Corps Volunteers. Rachel was a primary school teacher and Jill worked in community health doing HIV/AIDS outreach and education. Our travels have taken us to South Africa, Egypt and India already. We'll soon be in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Then it's back to America. And back to reality.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to be taken seriously and too long to not have fun.
