  Description

  Hello from sunny Asturias, where the sun always shines more then the forecast tells you. We are Sanne (31) and Joachim (31) and have been living here for 6 years. We're both dutch and bought an old farm that we’ve started to renovate as off november 2023.
  
  Sanne is a photographer and Joachim is a pianist, together we have the dream to live in our own build farm where our creative senses stay stimulated. We are very social people, but we also like to live a simple life with enough tranquility and privacy. We didn't start this project to finish soon but we like to work hard and enjoy even harder every small result. To relax, we really like to eat healthy and jummy food invite friends over and enjoy the tiny sauna in our garden, which can also be used by our guests now and then.
  
  Last year we've started renovating and had help with handy hands. We renovated a small building into a tiny house as a temporary hide out during the renovation, a bathroom, did lots of (vegetable) garden work, build our art and music studio where we work on our creative projects, rescued some cats and chickens who live with us now and we made a lovely veranda around the caravan to create a nice private space for workawayers in the backyard.
  
  You are most welcome to come and stay with us and share our life and dreams for a while. We would also love to hear about your dreams, ideas and experiences. We have a lot of experience with community living and will do our best to make you feel at home as well.
  
  We hope this gives you an idea about our life! Please reach out if you have any question and we hope to see you soon!
