Andrew and I are newly-weds, seeking to build our own story. Born and raised in United States, currently residing in the Pacific Northwest, we have only known what we have been taught by the western world. We are hungry to be engulfed in the uncomfortably of the unknown and felt as if going abroad would fancy that itch. We desire to build a family on a foundation that integrates a range of varied cultures, new ways of thinking, constant learning opportunities, imagination, and freedom for possibilities.  Though we love our friends and family, we are excited to set out on an adventure that will create a melody our kids and our grandkids will tell for generations to come. We set out for Rome, Italy on March 24th and then venture our way over to Edinburgh, Scotland around the beginning of May. We have chosen to backpack our way through Italy for about 12 days until we set roots in Northern Italy where we are spending a month WWoofing on an organic, bio-sustainable farm. We will be then traveling across the pond to Edinburgh, Scotland where Andrew and I will be putting finishing touches on our applications for The University of Edinburgh (Andrew is applying for his Masters program in Theology and I will be applying to be a Primary Educator with an emphasis on Child Development). We have chosen the itinerary based on many thing, but some main reasons are because I have deep Italian roots, Andrew and I both love dynamic scenery, our absolute love for wine and culinary, our mindfulness in how we treat ourselves and those around us, new education, and an adventure that will change both Andrew and my life forever.
