We
are Andreya and Jarred Taylor. We are Peace Corps Volunteers in Delcevo, Macedonia. Andreya is a community
development volunteer at a small NGO, and Jarred teaches English to high school students. We got married May 25, 2013 just outside of our beloved
college town of Nacogdoches, Texas. Now we're off to try new things and
hopefully grow a little along the way.
" . . . see the whole thing is a world full of rucksack wanderers, Dharma Bums
refusing to subscribe to the general demand that they consume production
and therefore have to work for the privilege of consuming, all that
crap they didn't really want anyway such as refrigerators, TV sets,
cars, at least new fancy cars, certain hair oils and deodorants and
general junk you finally always see a week later in the garbage anyway,
all of them imprisoned in a system of work, produce, consume, work,
produce, consume, I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution
thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with
rucksacks, going up to the mountains to pray, making children laugh and
old men glad, making young girls happy and old girls happier, all of 'em
Zen Lunatics who go about writing poems that happened to appear in
their heads for no reason and also by being kind and also by strange
unexpected acts keep giving visions of eternal freedom to everybody and
all living creatures"
-The Dharma Bums, Jack Kerouac
