Michelle:
Michelle can honestly say she loves the city. For eight years prior to
her departure, she devoted most of her free time to an inner-city ministry
for children that she helped build from scratch. She was honored
to work and serve these children, but she needed a break from the hard work
of her efforts. She started her travels partially to rekindle her
vision of helping the poor and underprivileged.
Michelle's other passion is art - drawing and painting. She works professionally
as a graphic and web designer and yearned for inspiration from
exotic sites, sounds, colors and landscapes. So she also took this
trip as part an artistic adventure.
Escaping the commute and the computer screen that has monopolized
her life, she planned on spending her days reading, writing, meditating,
exploring, painting and meeting interesting people. All in all,
this trip was about becoming a more complete person, hoping to see
refreshment come to every area of her life.

 Tim:
As a DC native, Tim grew weary watching Washingtonians drive six-ton sport utility
vehicles across the parking lot to Starbucks every weekend in search of
the perfect fresh-brewed organic half-caff skim venti latte macchiato
with a dainty topping of whipped cream. And although he could have
conveniently stopped by Starbucks to reminisce in Malaysia, New Zealand,
Singapore, Thailand, and the United Kingdom, he was hoping to find a place
in the world that doesn't remind him of home.
Tim has enjoyed a 14-year career in multimedia and web site programming.
He spends his time learning, reading, and tinkering. His right brain endeavors
include travel, photography, and lounging on the beach. He took this year off
to enjoy life, meet new people, challenge himself, enlarge his photography
portfolio, and worry his parents.
