    Description

    Hello. I'm a father of two young children. We live in the woods in a mud house. We love nature, hiking, and climbing. I'm an environmental consultant. We live 8 kilometers from the nearest town. The area is a natural paradise, with hills and many beautiful places to visit. There are foxes, many birds, edible plants, and a nearby stream where we can cool off in the summer.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here, family life unfolds in the woods. There's plenty of silence, contemplation, and space for meditation, relaxation, and rest. There's no commercial activity at home, so the interaction is more domestic. We love music; I play the trumpet. I also enjoy gourmet cooking and have a lot of knowledge in that area, although I prefer to maintain a simple diet in my daily life. I work in the environmental field, professionally training companies in composting and vermiculture.
    ===========
    Aqui es vida familiar en el bosque. Mucho silencio, contemplación, espacios para meditación, relajo y descanso.
    No hay una actividad comercial en casa por lo que el intercambio es más doméstico.

    Además me gusta mucho la cocina Gourmet, tengo mucho conocimiento en ese tema.
    A pesar que en el día a día me gusta mantener una alimentación simple.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    In the summer, I have a tent available for overnight stays, with a comfortable mattress. In colder weather, and only when there's more trust, they can stay inside the house. I try to avoid this since I have two young children who go to bed very early.

    The diet in my home is omnivorous, with a focus on local and agriculturally sustainable products.
    ===========
    En tiempo de verano tengo una carpa disponible para alojar, con un colchón cómodo. En tiempos más fríos y solo cuando hay más confianza pueden quedarse adentro de la casa. Tato de evitarlo ya que tengo 2 niños pequeños que se duermen muy temprano.

    La alimentación en mi hogar es omnívoro, con orientación a productos locales y agro sostenibles
