  Description

  We are a family of six: two parents and four kids. After spending many years in West Africa, we’ve recently settled in Geneva. Our multicultural background blends Brazilian and Italian origins.
  
  We have a passion for discovering new places and meeting people. Art is a significant part of our lives, particularly paintings, photography, and music. As vegans/vegetarians, we enjoy exploring plant-based cuisines and lifestyles. Our lives are deeply connected to meditation and yoga, and we share our home with three little birds and a variety of plants.
  
  We cherish new encounters and meaningful connections!

We are a multicultural family with roots in Brazil and Italy, and we’ve lived in West Africa before settling in Geneva. Our home is a vibrant blend of these cultures, offering a unique environment for learning and sharing.
  
  You’ll have the opportunity to explore various aspects of Brazilian, Italian, and West African cultures, from traditional and contemporary art to music and cuisine. We also value cultural diversity and open dialogue, which means engaging with different languages, customs, and traditions is a regular part of our daily life.
  
  Our family is passionate about art, including painting, photography, and music, and we enjoy discussing and sharing these interests. We are committed to a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, so you'll also experience the richness of plant-based cooking.
  
  Additionally, our home is a space for practices such as meditation and yoga being integral to our routines. We believe in the importance of meaningful connections and cultural enrichment, and we look forward to sharing and learning together.
  
  Living in Versoix, by the lake and close to Geneva, adds an extra layer of beauty and tranquility to our daily life. The serene lakeside setting and proximity to the vibrant city of Geneva create a perfect blend of peaceful living and cultural engagemen
