Description
We are a couple with Czech and Bulgarian origins. We live in the mountains of the Pistoia Apennines at 1000m above sea level in a rustic house. We are part of a larger community that has been caring for this area for over 40 years. We are trying to be as self-sufficient as possible. We grow vegetables, harvest chestnuts, mushrooms, fruit, herbs, and other gifts of the forest, maintain the house, and raise and educate our children aged 5, 9, 12, and 15 (who live with us partially). We enjoy climbing, slacklining, kitesurfing, traveling, being in nature, cycling, music, dance, and all other forms of art.
