Lauren

Hello! We are a family of 5. Lauren works as mental health therapist in her private practice and Ben is an entrepreneur and business consultant. Our kids learn from home and the world. We've been to several countries and have spent a lot of time in Central America, which we love! We're a pretty laid back group and like just enjoying time in beautiful and unique spots. We enjoy hiking, most all outdoor activities and sports. We also love museums, architecture and learning about new cultures.
