  Kirsten (40) and Anton (40) plus 3 kids Maas (9) Otto (7) and Fanni (5) are a Dutch family. They bought a campsite in the middle of Sweden next to the border of Norway. Vitsand is the place where they like to make a new more sustainable living. They like to live more seasonwise without the stress of a daily job.
