Josh and Amelia have decided to move to Turkey for a year and teach English.

About Josh:
Josh graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a history degree, which is why he spent last year servicing cars at Oil Can Henry's and selling toys at Thinker Toys.  He likes reading, rock climbing, bicycling, Tae Kwon Do, watching movies (both good and bad), and dreaming about the classic car he might one day restore.  After Turkey he plans to become a cop, although his mom wants him to be a lawyer. 

About Amelia:
Amelia is interested in making things, the ocean, drinking tea, psychology, and carving out a little space for herself in the world. She hopes to one day open a small handmade boutique and/or find a job that entertains her interest in the plasticity of the brain.
