We absolutely loved living… read more

Thank you very much for hosting me so spontaneously and friendly for a week. I was picked up in Gobabis and directly welcomed by the family and Marleen. I got a super inside view in the Namibian lifestyle and was treated like a part of the family and taken to a farm exhibition and to a barbecue at Uland´s brother´s farm. So, I also had the chance… read more
