Description
We are a patchwork family of soon four children and us, Stefanie and Geri (38 and 40 years old). We live in the south of Austria, Carinthia near the border to Slovenia and Italy. We own a 350 year old stonehouse in the campside with a huge garden. Geri works a lot around the house realizing gardening and aquaponic projects, sustainable living and wood crafting.
I am a Doula, pedagogy and mum of soon three children (9, 3 years old and baby). While being pregnant to my third child (our oldest son lives halftime with us and halftime with his mother) I stay at home preparing for a homebirth.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can benefit from a stay with us because of our unique place here. You get to know family life and how you manage all the different needs of each family member. You learn about the schoolsystem, housekeeping and how to manage finances of a family and make a budget plan.
From Geri you can learn all about wood and working with wood and he´s an expert for growing our own food. He is also a rapper/songwriter and open for new ideas.
I am also a artisan producing macrame jewelry and can share my experiences. And of course you can learn a lot about birth!
