Description
Hello we are Magda and Marian with 5 children from 18 to 6 years old. We are an italian-slovak family. We speak 8 languages. We've been travelling for several years through Europe with our truck while working on markets, selling wooden kitchen ustensiles hand-sculpted by Marian.
I (magda) love the baking world with sourdough, I love to cook and experiment in the vegetable garden.
We spent the last 6 years in Sicily where we started to cultivate vegetables, baking bread, living a simple life.
For the last three years we've been hosting a little alternative educational project in nature (for children ages between 3 and 14y) which we founded together with other families.
Since September 2025 we decided it was time to explore north Italy again and we stepped into a travel by camping car through alternative educational projects.
Life brought us to Piemonte where I (magda) got a job offer in a parents led school.
So here we are, in a green valley of Piemonte. We decided to stop here.
We found an old house in the village and we are starting to renovate it.
On the first floor there is the old bakery that we dream to make it work again.
Generally we try not to use phones by the common spaces. We invite people to use it in their own private spaces.
We appreciate when you ask before taking picture of children.
