About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To leave your couch fluffier than when we arrived.

ABOUT ME

We're wanderin' fools that met in college. Now we are international 'dirtbag' adventure partners.

Last year it was hitchiking from our homes through all of Central America. We have just returned from some months in Mongolia; now, it's China bound!

We get down on some hot springs, Sleeping outside, whitewater rivers, jiu-jitsu, skiing, canyoneering, travel, adventure, high places, emergencies, ultralight backpack, climbing on rock formations, eating new foods, and anything where the outcome is uncertain really. We also just generally like to have a good time even when we're suffering in the name of travel.

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem, compassion compassion compassion, to each their own, see: Bob Marley
