Moving day! We do things a little differently here 😂 Hello hello, I feel like the summer flew by, how about you? Hard to believe it’s already September! Our big news is that we have finally moved into our new house, what an adventure that was, wow!  And we are absolutely loving it! It [...]

Happy autumn! Hopefully you have all settled into your fall routine, and you are enjoying the cooler weather. We have had a lot of rain the last few weeks, and the city is “trying” to build a new road by our house. As you can imagine, digging up a road and then having two weeks [...]

Hello from tropical, wet Cambodia, It’s always summer here, but sometimes I do miss those long, warm summer days in Oregon and Switzerland. At the moment the days are a pleasant temperature 25-29C (77-84F), just super muddy, which kind of puts a damper on the whole “barbecue by the river” vibe. 😂 But when the [...]

Hello and happy Summer holidays to all of you with children! I’ll keep this update short, we’re quite busy at the moment, and I injured my left hand, so typing isn’t so comfortable. It’s a bit embarrassing, I wasn’t doing anything grand or heroic, I got bit by a stray cat! Yes, I went to [...]

Hello from rainy Cambodia, Just as most of our friends and family are launching into the long warm days of summer, we are beginning our rainy season. It’s still very hot, but we get days (such as today) when it’s cloudy, rainy and cools down to 27°C (80°F). Ahhhh, so nice 😁 A trip to [...]

Dear friends and loved ones, April was a much slower month for us, which was a relief after our very busy (but amazing) March. April is when all of Cambodia celebrates the Khmer New Year. Technically it’s only a three day national holiday, but those three days always fall on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday so [...]

Hello and happy Easter week! I like Easter, it reminding me of my humble place and purpose in this world, and the incredible gift of life that I have been given. ❤️ March was a busy month for us. In addition to our regular work with Warm Blankets Switzerland and The Water Project, we also [...]

  Hello and happy March! Are you starting to see little signs of Spring? Some little buds on plants, and longer days? Here in Cambodia March 1st means that the cool season is nearly over, and to begin preparing for the hot. At the moment it’s still quite pleasant in the morning and evening hours, [...]

Hello from Cambodia, Can you believe that it’s February already? While the wetern hemisphere has been dealing with nasty cold weather, we've been enjoying pleasant temperatures from 22-30c (71-87f) with a nice breeze from the north. We’re enjoying it while we can, because the hot season is coming soon. Lukas went out with Pastor Nourn to replace an [...]

Happy New Year! I’m writing this update from Vietnam. We’re making our second annual Christmas kitesurfing holiday. Last year we enjoyed it so much we decided to do it again this year. It takes about 12 hours by car to reach Phan Rang, Vietnam, but once we’re here we pretty much just live on the [...]
