Norann & Chris - Duo Down Under
We're a husband-wife team of genuine Ausmericans who've called Australia home for over twenty years, while raising three sons and participating in the adventure of faith community as members of the Bruderhof. As we navigate our mid-40s and come to terms with an emptying nest, we've found that recording videos for our channel gives us an excuse to sit down and exchange ideas - on faith, friends & family, and food, for starters - and hopefully offers encouragement to our viewers. We welcome comments, (constructive) criticism, and questions.
