  Description

  Hi, we are Annika and Human, a couple originally from Germany, now residing in a small, rural village in Galicia with our two Chihuahuas, Pasang and Nala. Although Spain is our second residence, we have lived in various countries and cultures, especially in Southeast Asia. We have embraced a new life here in Sober, where we transformed a ruin on a large piece of land into our home amidst stunning natural surroundings.
  
  Our place is nestled in the heart of the countryside, offering incredible views, natural and organic food, and a sense of peace and tranquility. Despite our rural location, we have Wi-Fi, and the nearest city is just a 20-minute drive away.
  
  We love cultural exchange and just exchange ideas and tips and tricks of life and helping each other to a better understanding of life itself :-).
  
  A bit about us: Annika holds a Bachelor of Arts and has transitioned from a corporate career to become a color consultant and makeup artist, helping men and especially women express their internal beauty through their external appearance. Human has a background as an entrepreneur but changed his life about 15 years ago. He has been a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner and meditation teacher for 20 years and is also a certified NLP coach and hypnotherapist.
  
  We welcome you to join us in our countryside haven, contribute to our projects, and experience the beauty and tranquility of rural Galicia.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  There are plenty of hidden gems here in Galicia, and we are happy to take you along as we explore this beautiful region ourselves. We are also fairly new to the area and are eager to share our experiences and learn from others.
  
  We regularly practice meditation and yoga, and you are welcome to join us for these sessions. Since Human is a life coach and meditation teacher, he is happy to help you learn how to meditate. Annika can also assist you in finding the right colors and makeup to enhance your natural beauty.
  
  We love to cook, and although you will have your own kitchen, we would be delighted to share our evening meals together.

  What else ...

  Our property is nestled in the picturesque province of Lugo, just across the Rio Sil from Orense province, in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra. Located near Sober, we reside at the end of a quaint village with about 20 permanent inhabitants, 40 cows, pigs, and numerous cats and dogs. Here, it's easy to forget that we are actually in the 21st century.
  
  This area, known for its vineyards, deep gorges, and rugged mountains, offers stunning, untamed nature. Galicia, often referred to as "Green Spain," is unique and different from the rest of the country. Experiencing it firsthand is the only way to truly appreciate its charm.
  
  The nearest village with a pub and supermarkets is just a 10-minute drive away, and it's another 10 km to the closest town. We are also only a 25-minute walk from one of the most famous miradores in Galicia, a spot we love to visit daily. We would be delighted to take you along and share this breathtaking view with you.
