Description
Our wish was to create something, a place where people come together and having lovely stay: that road brought us to the village Ban Sieou.
Many obstacles were to overcome and various of times we had to start over.
We are a family of five, lived the last 15years in Switzerland and decided in 2023 to experience with our kids the laotian part of our familyroots. Over the last year Luang Prabang and specially his countryside became our new home. As a family we experienced all sorts of different possibilties with learning processes, school options, business, independence. We walk our path with an open mind and a heart for people, animals and nature.
Our motivation: Sustainability, a conscious use of environmental resources and making a contribution to the waste problem in Laos are matters close to our hearts.
