    Olá Olá : ) we are : Laura, Ruben, Migo and Mika and Pascal ( Lauras brother ) and Willy Yaro crazy cat

    we are building our real own house! what a journey! we love to use natural materials to build our home because they are harmless for our world and because they just feel so soooo good to live in and with!!

    Ruben is an engineer in renewable energies and Pascal has a lot of experience in building. he mixes our clay plaster!
