Hi Matthias & Allison,
I was going through my database and came upon Matthias’ name in the list of my old clients. A quick Google search brought me to your site!
I’ve wondered where you were traveling and how it’s going. It’s neat to read about what your adventures and see the video of the kids on U-Tube. Glad you are having a good time. Hope the rest of your travels go well.
I’m still working away at my graphic design business.
