    Description

    Gwendoline (39 year old) and I (Mahdi 42) have decided to change lifestyle. We quit our office job couple of years ago to start market gardening in Normandy. We used to travel a lot before to start our project. As we begin our farming activity in 2019, we have to take care of chickens, sheeps, goats, cats and to prepare gardens, buldings... So we need some help for this but we would also like to share and travel through our guests' stories.
