Description
Hey! We are Arnaud and Laurence, the happy parents of 2 kids, Elisa almost 3 years old and Baptiste almost 1 year old. We live in Huy a small city in Belgium (between Namur and Liège) not far from the nature where we like to go for a walk with our dog Sherlok! It is also the city of the Tibetan Yeunten Ling institute you can visit or where you can experience a yoga class and we are not far from the smallest city of Belgium, Durbuy - really nice to have a walk. Moreover in Belgium, cities are easily accessible by train if you want to visit the country (Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp...). We also have a family house near the sea where we like to go when we need to rest a little bit.
What are we doing in our life? Arnaud is working as engineer in a big industry and Laurence as a self employed Happiness Manager. Our center of interests are connected with nature, regeneration, food, energy, natural solutions...
We have a lot of projects and our life is still in movement to achieve our goals and create our dream life more connected with present :) In the nearest future, we would like to live in Brazil and we are super excited to learn more about the country, the culture and of course also the language.
We would like to meet someone who's ready to learn us more about Brazil and teach us Brazilian, help us with our children (principally going drive them and pick them up from school/nursery - driving license needed) and the daily tasks as shopping to eat or preparing the meals. By the way, we love raw food and you won't find at home meat, bakkeries or other industrial food that you could easily find in the good shops and restaurants almost next doors (5-10 minutes by foot).
Hope we see you soon !

Our house has 2 floors. Your room will be situated on 1st floor. You will have your own bedroom with 1 bed and everything to put your stuff. Bathroom will be shared with the whole family.
On earth floor, you'll find the kitchen, the living room and the dining room (with a living room part and the play corner for the kids).
Meals and food will be discuss together but the idea is: our meals will be your meals. We use to cook different kind of very healthy food - raw food. The kitchen will be available if you need to cook something else. We just ask not doing this while the children are there, otherwise they want to taste and we try to give them exclusive healthy/raw food.
The neighborhood is quiet and surrounded by nature. It's easy to go for a walk, run or bike session from home.
