Photo: In the land of the Reindeer People. Giselle was born in 1975 in the middle of the ocean on a fortuitously placed island (Trinidad, W.I.). Twenty-five years later she met Jason, born in 1970 in the middle of America in a fortuitously placed city (Madison, WI). We married in 2000. In 2004, we sold everything and embarked on a much dreamed about trip around the world. We plan to visit each of the seven continents on our way back home, a journey of three years.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails." -Mark Twain
