    My name is Maano Shimanda, 32 years old, married with 2 children (boy (2) and girl (5)). We live in Windhoek Namibia, but we are officially from the northern part of Namibia. I love nature and culture and I love meeting new people and learning. We can offer accommodation and food at our northern home, we usually visit in
    December, so we are open to sharing accommodation and food during this time.
