Description
We are a family with 3 kids (aged 10, 12 and 15), we are going to move to Montpellier, in the South of France, in August 2024 in a spacious apartment in the historical center of the city. We are into healthy, vegetarian food and we try to live in a sustainable way respecting the environment as much as we can. We have many hobbies going from gardening and medicinal plants to music, trekking, travelling, jogging, sailing and yoga (and many more!) :)
Jerome works for an environmental NGO and I (Eleonora) am a free lance consultant and trainer for development aid projects. There is always a lot of work to do in the house and with the kids, and we would be grateful to get some help!
