Description
We are a family of four; Papa, Mama, big sister and little baby brother. We live in a quiet, small village called Eckarstsbrun. We have beautiful views of the Swiss alps in the distance and the lake of Konstanz (Bodensee) just a 5 minute walk. Picture fruit trees, lots of open land, birds singing in every direction and fresh air. Our daughter loves the outdoors, as she is very active and we enjoy spending time in nature and spending time with the animals around us -chickens, goats, dogs, cats, cows. The cities around us draw many tourists.
We are a bilingual family since mama is from the Caribbean. Our daughter speaks English and Deutsch. Our son is just now 4 months. We are pretty chill and do lots of things spontaneously.

What else ...
Things to do and see around our place:
We have bicycles that you can use to discover the region.
The lake of Konstanz is about 15 kilometers from our place. Its a very big lake that borders at Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
We can visit a big castle nearby.
Drive to the 'Rheinfall' which is the second largest waterfall in Europe.
If you walk some minutes away from our house you can see big parts of the Alps from Switzerland, Austria and Germany as well as the lake of Konstanz.
If you'd like to explore the bigger city without our family; the bus (which you can schedule) and train would be the best mode.
