CURRENT MISSION

to optimize every day!

ABOUT ME

we are a 40-something couple who are committed to identifying the things we are passionate about and pursuing them at every chance. we love the outdoors, and have both had professional involvement in outdoor recreation - scuba diving and kayaking instructors, whitewater rafting guides, wilderness backpacking guides, etc. we moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, because of the outdoor recreation opportunities (yes, there is more than casinos and gambling in Las Vegas!), and because we love the desert. we also love to travel, but never go with organized tour groups. we love the freedom of discovering the true essence of a country/city/people through our own explorations of the places that tourists don't normally go. we want to learn how the people live, not how the tourists live! we love: spending time with our friends, good food, soaking in a hot tub, and floating face down in tropical waters (preferrably with a mask and snorkel).

PHILOSOPHY

nothing is for sure, anything's possible, and if it feels good, do it! life is too short not to discover and follow your passion.
