    Description

    We are a Swiss couple with 2 children (11&12 years old), and one foster child, 12 years old. We live with our 9 horses on a lovely ranch in the west of Lucerne.
    We have a dog & two cats and we live at the foothills of the alps. In our garden we have 20 apple trees and from there you'll have a beautiful view on the nearby mountains.
    Lucerne and Berne are 45 min away ( Interlaken 1h)….beautiful nature surrounds our place.

    We love reading, music, nature
    And we love to explore this Earth and it’s inhabitants in a unjugmental and open manner.

    We are open to new things, new ideas. We are kind to everyone and everything!
    We love cultural exchange.
    We appreciate the help of people who don‘t mind getting their hands dirty.
    In 2020 we were on a a 1/2 year trip from the polarcircle to the desert Sahara.
