Perry and Kaylee met in the summer of 2013 on a flight to Italy. They immediately formed this strong connection with the love of travel being at the forefront. After returning home from Italy, Perry and Kaylee moved to Spain, Perry teaching English for the year and Kaylee studying for six months outside of Madrid. They used this time to adventure around Europe and take weekend trips to countries including Italy, Greece, England, Belgium and Portugal. After completing their stint in Spain, Perry and Kaylee returned home for a year, but knew they weren’t finished living abroad. They applied for an English Teaching position in Thailand through a program called CIEE. They would arrive in Thailand in October 2016, but before arriving they returned to Spain to complete the Camino de Santiago, a 500 mile walk starting from St. Jean Pied de Port, France and ending in Santiago, Spain. They completed the trek in 32 days and then set off to Thailand to begin teaching for a year. During their time in Thailand, they had revisited their dream of joining the Peace Corps. They didn’t want to end their traveling in Thailand, so they applied to the Peace Corps and after an intense application process, they were accepted into he Program and placed in Panama to continue teaching English for two years. They connected with the Panamanian people and immersed themself in a small mountain town in the eastern part of Panama. They now work for Peace Corps Headquarters and plan on continuing their love of travel and immersion in the near future.
