Hey friends and family! Thanks for considering this option! Your donation will help us purchase necessary gear and equipment for our 2+ year term serving with the Peace Corps in Macedonia. Your gift might go towards warm sleeping bags (it's cold in Macedonia!), winter clothing, LifeStraw water bottles, hiking gear, and other essentials. To learn more about the things we might purchase, you can follow this link to the official packing list for Peace Corps Macedonia! https://www.peacecorps.gov/macedonia/preparing-to-volunteer/packing-list/

Hi friends and family! You may have heard that we are about to embark on a 2+ year stint in the Peace Corps. After that adventure, we're planning another one! A road-trip across Europe for our Honeymoon. Contributions to this fund may go towards travel expenses (transportation, lodging, etc.) or towards experiences we are planning on our trip.

Though it's a while away, we will eventually be returning to the United States to begin making a home together. Contributions to this fund may go towards moving expenses, household items, and other costs associated with our return to normal life after the Peace Corps.

You may have seen that when we leave for the Peace Corps, we will only be able to take 2 suitcases each. Many of our things will have to be sold, given away, or left behind. As we do not want to burden our family and friends with the task of taking care of too much furniture, a small storage facility will be very helpful and will allow us to keep some of our most important things safe during our period of service.

Though we have created a general fund to support our honeymoon, we figured a few folks may want to give to something more directly. Both during our Peace Corps service and our honeymoon afterwards, we are likely to be doing a lot of travel. Gift cards going towards Airbnbs will keep us safe and comfortable wherever we are when we travel over the next few years.
