From 2007 to 2009 we lived in Queens and worked at a bank/hedge fund in Manhattan. We realized we hated it so we quit.
In August 2009, We drove our Ford Escape to San Diego and worked building houses in Tijuana as year-long interns at Amor Ministries.
After our internship Andrew worked full-time for Amor for 2 years and Joanna finally finished her Masters in Social Work from SDSU in May 2012.
Our journey is continuing back on the East Coast...as we relocate to our Jersey roots...this time in our Toyota Matrix.

Thrifty Thursday: Poor Surfers
I just bought that good looking full-leg spring suit in the front there for $5.83 (75% off $20!) from the Cerebral Palsy Thrift Store. It fits me like a glove (maybe even a little too snug which is crazy), has a money throwback 80s look, and is surprisingly warm for being just a standard neoprene.
We had four wetsuits in our shower and I washed them all in a plastic tub with Dr Bronner’s Magic 18-in-1 Hemp Peppermint Pure-Castile Soap. Wetsuit washing isn’t one of the 18 uses so I guess it should be 19-in-1.
They smell like delicious peppermint now….
