We are Alyssa, Jim and baby Asher. We were childhood friends, summer sweethearts and now we are married, wildly in love, and just welcomed our little prince Asher. For us, TIME is the most valuable of all commodities and we try, whenever possible, to make meaningful time for ourselves and others. So during a gap year between graduate studies we backpacked through Central America together (see blog); and for our honeymoon we spent 4 months backpacking through India, Nepal and Thailand (see blog).
Now we embark on a new journey together as a family. We are strapping on our packs once again to harvest this rare and valuable commodity; time.
