We are Olivia and Jason. We are pragmatics and souls who seek adventure. Olivia is a midwife, Jason is a family doctor, and our love for the world and connecting with the people in it have led us to work in Tanzania for a year, to travel around the world for 10 months, to ongoing work in Ghana, and to dig our roots a little deeper into our home in Portland, Oregon.
