I'm always tryng to learn about tradicional ways to living, just conected with the nutre and respecting the world we are living in, we all have diferend knowledge so this is also we can learn one of each others. There's also a lot of work needed cleaning the farm garden area. Sometimes I travel and I need help for take care of my animals during my absence.
