自我介绍

We have lived in various neighborhoods in Brooklyn for the past 19 years (David was here from birth), but we found our dream home in Bed-Stuy. I am originally from Kansas and started traveling internationally in high school. I studied abroad in Spain as well as in Italy in college, and after we had kids about 16 years ago, I needed to be sure that international travel could still be a part of our lives, so we went to Mexico when our daughter was 4 months old, and I took her to London at 12 months with my sister. Since then, we have traveled around Switzerland, London, Denmark, Sicily, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Canada, Croatia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand, among other trips stateside. Our last big trips were sailing in Croatia and hiking in the Swiss Alps and scuba diving in Roatan, Honduras (the kids were certified as Junior divers a couple years ago). We hope to continue our adventures for many years to come. David is an Assistant Principal at an alternative high school, and I am a Statistician, doing research in sea-level change. We love to enjoy the amazing food and culture in Brooklyn and elsewhere, so we have taken advantage of the possibility of subsidizing a bit of our travel by putting our home on Airbnb while we are away having our own adventures. The summer of 2020 we traveled around the Western US in our camper trailer exploring the national parks, hiking and working remotely, turning COVID into an opportunity for more exploration.
