Description
Hello, we are Ilja and Gabi — a Dutch-Brazilian couple who first met 20 years ago in Fortaleza, Brazil.After living for 16 years across Germany, the Netherlands, and Portugal, we decided to return to Brazil to finally pursue our long-held dream. We wanted to create a beach farm that would combine our deep love for nature, animals, and the beautiful coastline of Ceará.We eventually found our perfect spot in the rustic fishing village of Uruau, only 900 meters away from the warm Ocean. The authentic, unspoiled nature and the incredibly warm and friendly local people completely stole our hearts.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a family who has lived in different countries and truly enjoy connecting with people from around the world. We speak English, German, Portuguese, and a bit of Spanish, which helps us share experiences and communicate easily with different cultures.
We love learning from others—their traditions, habits, food, and ways of seeing life. For us, cultural exchange is about mutual respect, curiosity, and creating meaningful connections.
Our place is located in Uruaú, in Ceará, very close to the beach. It’s a peaceful area surrounded by nature, where you can enjoy the ocean, dunes, and beautiful landscapes. We appreciate a simple lifestyle, spending time outdoors, and being connected to nature.
We love animals, plants, the sun, and the sea. Life here is calm and relaxed, perfect for those who enjoy a slower pace and natural beauty. We also enjoy sharing meals, stories, and moments together, creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone.
We look forward to learning from you and sharing a bit of our life with you too! 🌿🌊
