  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 6, but now we are just 3 at home. I'm a pharmacist (57), now working as a high school teacher and producing agroecological vegetables and seeds in a small scale. My wife is a chemist and a yoga teacher, now also working as a high school teacher. We also run a B&B at home. Villa La Angostura is a small city inside Nahuel Huapi National Park. We are surrounded by lakes, forest and mountains.
    We like sharing experiences with people from other countries. I spend 1 year in France when I was 18, and after travelled a lot working for multinational companies. Our older daughter (not living at home now) spend 1 school year in Russia, the oldest boys pend 1 school year in Sweden, the third one went to Norway, and the youngest girl will go to Finland next year.
    As a family we enjoy going to the beach with friends, walking in the mountains, meeting with friends for good meal and long conversations.
