About Us |
Most likely you all know us already and why we are the way we are :-)
If your reading this you're part of our extended family across the globe and know us well. For those of you who don't, introductions aside, we are Mike, Marissa and Keira. We live a less than normal life, which suites us best. The little poem at the front of the site sums it up pretty well, we let our good mate Robert Service have a crack at it for us. Riss and I have been travelers for decades and on this latest run we look forward to seeing the world through a wee curly headed beasties eyes, it should be good for laugh and some fun. |

Michael ( Mike, Mic ) Powers
Born in Australia to an Aussie Mum and Canadian Dad. I left Australia in my early 20's chasing the girl below half way round the world and haven't stopped doing it since, maybe she'll let me catch up to her one day ;-). I still identify as an Aussie although I now have a few different passports and make the USA my current home. I'm not a bad graphic designer by trade, and after a long time in the industry have got to a place where I work pretty exclusively for people I like and respect, it allows me and the family our time to be just that, a family. As for doing the unusual, well my oldest friends will tell you it's in my nature, ... hell – my newest friends would probably say the same thing about me..... as my old man would say "you gotta stop and smell the roses".

Marissa ( Riss ) Paulden
Also an Aussie with a passion for travel and exploring the world. I have been away from Australia since my early 20's pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy. This has allowed us to explore new places and meet amazing individuals that have made life fun and full. I guess I'm the mid point between the crazy one above and the princess below, we all balance each other out in a perfect way. Looking forward to this year of travel, sharing this with Keira, watching her grow and learn, spending time as a family doing things that we've never done before, after all that's what it's all about....and yes sampling chocolate in every country!

Keira ( Wee beasty, Miss Patootie, Bell, and a host of other names ) Powers
So I'm a princess, pretty much all you need to know about me, but I will fill you in on a few more facts just for fun. I'm also an adventurer, a rock collector, a ballet dancer and a friend to all dogs everywhere, and generally know a whole lot about absolutely everything. I'm 4 and half years old and I'm on a big trip with my Mum and Dad. We are traveling through the Americas and I intend to eat chocolate everywhere we go, in every country we visit I really, really love chocolate and ice cream. Helado means ice cream in spanish (very important) I only speak a little bit of spanish at the moment but I'm making a lot of friends, who are helping me learn more. I'm also putting together a collection of the things I find along the way for my museum. Love and hugs Keira.
