    Description

    [En] Hi! We are Nina and Benoît, a French couple who have lived in Galicia for more than a year. We have a land with a ruin, a forest and pastures. We live in the Tiny House that Nina built and in a caravan. We traveled the world quite a bit and fell in love with the region.
    Benoît, 38 years old, comes from La Réunion Island and is passionate about waves (bodyboarding), cooking and gardening.
    Nina, 36 years old, comes from the north of France and is an independent artist who spreads magic wherever she goes.
    We are still at the beginning of our project but we aspire to create a place with semi-food autonomy with the garden and to create an enchanted forest, a place with alternative accommodation for rent.

    [Es] Hola! Somos Nina y Benoît, un matrimonio francés que vive en Galicia desde hace más de un año. Disponemos de un terreno con una ruina, un bosque y pastos. Vivimos en la Tiny House que construyó Nina y en una caravana. Viajamos bastante por el mundo y nos enamoramos de la región. Benoît, 37 años, viene de la Isla de La Réunion y es un apasionado de las olas (bodyboard), la cocina y la jardinería. Nina, 36 años, viene del norte de Francia y es una artista independiente que reparte magia allá donde va. Todavía estamos en el inicio de nuestro proyecto pero aspiramos a crear un lugar con una autonomía semi-alimentaria con el huerto y a crear un bosque encantado, un lugar con alojamiento alternativo en alquiler.
