Meet Curt and Vickie from everywhere!
Possibly the most adventurous couple on the planet! Home is where their family and their heart is. At times, that can be anywhere on the planet! The couple has traveled around the world twice over and they aren’t done yet. Curt is a college math professor and historian at Pennsylvania College of technology. Vickie is a nurse. The couple has been together for 32 years and married for 25. They hold a wealth of talents together. The two both grew up in military families, and are accustomed to adapting and overcoming. While growing up and traveling with his military family Curt went to 18 different schools, 24 different times. Amazingly, the tip of the iceberg of his adventures have been: living in Hawaii, hiking the Pyrenees mountains in France, taking the Camino pilgrimage in Spain, and being one of the first to explore a newly discovered Mayan cave located in Chiapas, Mexico. Vickie is equally as adventurous and is literally a walking miracle. At 19 years old, while working for the US Army in Germany, she was playing a game of softball with her peers. When running from first base to second, she collapsed, had a heart attack and died. The military called her family and told them not to get on a plane. While she was in the hospital on life support, the outlook did not look promising and they were sure they most likely would be sending her home deceased. She spent weeks on life support in the hospital. While there, they discovered that she had a rare birth defect in her heart. They rebuilt her heart and today she is living a life, that most can only dream of. The couple credits many of their adventures to their beautiful daughter, who is a pilot, first captain assistant, and first mate on a yacht that travels the world. Their daughter often hires them to work on the yacht, giving them the opportunity to spend time as a family, creating adventures for others and living out their adventures as well. Every May, the couple moves to traveling by horseback. They head to Wyoming and become ranchers for two weeks, moving 3,000 head of cattle, from the winter to summer pastures. They are on horseback 12 to 16 hours out of the day. Their adventures go far beyond what our small interview could obtain in one sitting. The one thing they want to tell the world is, “Our one common ground as human beings is the want to love and be loved. If you can be anything in this life be love!” Thank you so much for visiting and thank you for sharing your amazing stories with us! Please, do the world a favor and write a book! Travel with love.
