I’m Stu. And the redhead behind me… that’s Janice.
When we met, we both had office jobs working long hours. But a few years ago, we decided to give up our apartment in New York City and move to Mexico. We wanted to travel and hopefully do a little less working and a lot more living.
But just 6 months into our travel journey, our life changed again. We were pregnant!
