Beschreibung
After cycling several continents and trying serious jobs in Holland, we landed at a beautiful spot in an isolated part of the south of France. We put on our DIY caps and turned the watermill into a mini-farm . By the time we had 'finished' our tree-project a few years later, eager for something new, our base Aurignac for some reason turned from dormant into a blossoming town. By -often young- people arriving with plenty of new projects and initiatives. It often feels like a playground here. In this new dimension, with over 50 associations for 1200 inhabitants, Akex initiated a music festival three years ago and a wall-painting project this year. Old geezers to most, but still playing around.

We cycled through Russia in the early nineties, as the country was leaning to the west. The people at the Russian countryside were very inspiring. Warm people who always found a solution. It had a huge impact on us.
A leaking tap can be repaired, a calf fits very well in the back of a mini-van and we just sit out the flooding of barns after heavy rains.
You too, are capable of more than you think.
And you' ll most probably pick up on the interesting challenges of going 'from city to countryside' and/or 'from a northern to a latin culture'.. -

Me and a co-traveller spent 1 month housesitting their old mill and bakery which they have refurbished themselves when they moved there from Holland 20 years ago. The place looks like it's from a fairytale 🧚♂️. And anyone who stays there via Airbnb will be able to enjoy a magical place.
