Hi there ! We are a fun loving couple in Connecticut who loves to travel and go on exciting adventures. Our 2nd home is on the island of Martha’s Vineyard where we escape to the beaches and cozy walks through the small towns. We are hoping to add a little girl or siblings to our adventures while also raising them to reach for the sky and achieve all their dreams and aspirations for whatever paths they decides to take in their life. We will travel to any state and are are accepting of open or closed situations. Feel free to send us a message. We would love to chat!
