Help us with our vision of clean beaches and a sustainable home in Lanzarote

Description

Hi, we are a Swiss family in Lanzarote: NiA (36) , Tobi (42), Mian (8 and Noe (6). We live in a wonderfull (unfinished) house in the north of Lanzarote. Mountains and beaches are close, the views are spectacular, it´s really quiet and relaxing and in the morning you can hear the birds singing!
We are the founders of an organisation we raise awareness about marine litter through action and creativity!
About a year ago we bought a house in Mala. It´s not a ruin, but it needs some care! We fixed electric and water supply but still there is a lot to do! Mainly plasterworks, some woodworks, painting, gardening and a plant based waterpurification system with a green pool are the next steps to get to our vision of a sustainable home.

If your having a break - Lanzarote offers a lot to do and to see. We live realy close to the bus station and the beaches are accessible by bike and some even in walking distance. Of course you can always join us in our car. Hitchhiking works to!
