Kimberly & Sean in Paris

Kimberly is a California girl, born and bred, but you’d never guess from the pasty white, pale skin she’s known by. She has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area her whole life, with the exception of five years spent in Monterey where she graduated as a Computer Engineer. After a few years in the Dot-com industry, she met her future husband, watched her company go out of business and decided, “What the heck! Let’s get married and go around the WORLD!” Kim has NEVER traveled and at 27 is now finding the world to be a much friendlier and easy to go through than she even imagined, especially with her wonderful, travel-savvy husband, Sean, to help guide her.

An Irish-American lad born in the northern California bay area, Sean attended school at UC Berkeley, graduated and never found any reason to leave the place…until now. After eight years of living in Berkeley, writing short stories, playing in bands, riding dot-com rollercoasters, substitute teaching and bartending, Sean met the girl of his dreams, Kimberly. The two spent a fleeting pair of years working across the street from each other, living next door and sharing the microphone at small clubs and cafes before getting married in a small Berkeley church this past April and departing on their 7-month RTW honeymoon immediately afterwards.

Aside from the honeymoon, Sean’s travelling has encompassed the continental US, Europe, the Philippines & New Zealand. While on the road this year, Sean can be recognized by his greyish felt fedora (”Best damn hat I ever had!”), his tiny travelling guitar (”What? travel without my guitar??!”) and his adoring glances at the beautiful woman sitting next to him (his wife, Kim). Sean has been a member of the Boots community for…oh, some time now.
