    travellers will benefit from being with an unconventional family, where spirited children will run free and are curious, our ways are not dictated by time, we go with the flow....sometimes its peaceful most of the time quite chaotic...you will learn about being present in the now, how to be flexible, creative and navigate whatever presents its self in our daily lives. We have a lively community around us, with many more children, beautiful nature, and very colourful local markets...
