Fun Facts About Beril

Our family of four loves to travel. We are happy to go just about anywhere, anytime we can make it work! We especially enjoy being in new places and meeting new people where we can hike, swim, surf or ski. A favorite travel tradition is finding a local spot for a holiday haircut - we’ve got some priceless post-trim photos!

Patagonia tops our current dream-big list. It has so much that appeals – a sense of the wild, a dramatic and varied landscape, and all kinds of outdoor adventure possibilities. Pictures to follow if we ever get there!

A recent favorite is a documentary called Maiden about the first-ever British women’s sailing team to compete in the Whitbread Round the World race. The story and sailing footage are amazing, but perhaps the best parts of the film are the recent interviews with the crew and their competitors. They are open, honest and often so funny as they reflect on leaning into challenge, facing impossible odds and some tough and tender lessons in leadership and teamwork.

Finder of lost people and things.

So many to live by. Among my favorites: "people do the best they can for who they are and what they know."
