Hello!

I went to the University of Texas (Hook 'em!) where I met my husband. We LOVE to travel and be outdoors! We enjoy experiencing other cultures and trying to get the most authentic experience wherever we venture. Whether it's in the US or abroad, we always make it a memorable adventure. When we are not traveling the world, we are happiest at home with our kids and two rescue pups.
