Alaskan Experience in review

"In the summer of 2005, two young adventurers found their way to Alaska... and then they found eachother."
Since that time, we have neither stopped adventuring nor dreaming big. Alaska has been a beautiful place for us to settle for a while and prepare for our future. While schooling, work, and volunteering have been our primary priorities over the past years we have still found time to nourish our senses of adventure and experience. Stef has worked with the non-profit women's organization Alaska STAR for the past two years while I have worked towards completion of my B.A. degree in Biological sciences and Pre-med. Meanwhile, we have found time to venture into the the great spaces of Alaska's backcountry both by personal ambition and also through professional guiding of multi-sport camping tours around the state. Our passion for the outdoors and conservation of the natural environment has also been satisfied by volunteer work with the Anchorage Waterways Council - Citizen's Environmental Monitoring Program. Monthly we participate in sample collection and chemical assay of water quality on one of Alaska's many glacial rivers. These experiences and others we hope will prepare us for further volunteer work overseas in the capacities of human health, welfare and environmental quality. We are excited to finally wed and let the real adventures begin!
