    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We wil have a daily lunch together where we can cook and eat together

    We have a home gym that we all can use

    Alexandra is a health coach, gym freak and has a lot of knowledge about food and what it does to your body. She is a beginner in NEI therapy but she is learning fast, she knows alot about natural births as she had 3 (one with twins ) and has a small business in renting out birthpools and helping with pregnancy information and about natural medicine and such


    And I am a chef that can teach you a lot about how to create amazing dishes. I'm learning how to revive the land and how to be self sustainable.
    I have a small catering service and I'm a private chef (mostly in summer )
    I also do renovation and construction work I like to do carpentry and work with my own wood from the forest.

    We want to learn about other cultures and most important the food that they have (food is life ) and want to share knowledge about it.
