"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable."
(Helen Keller, 1880 - 1968 U.S. writer and lecturer)
What causes a person to leave the comforts
and security of home, catapulting them
out to the far corners of this vast globe??
Having sold everything July 2003, our
new home is wherever we lay our heads.
And what an amazing home it is!!
Our goal is to simply explore our planet
and share this incredible world with as
