Description
Together with my boyfriend Auke and our daughter Fiep (3) we travel to and in Portugal for 3 months. To get new energy, to get to know other families and to be inspired how to live more in the now, more with nature and more in peace. At home we have a dog (not traveling with us now), we have chickens, a vegetable garden and 50 bee colonies. In our professional lives Monique is a youth and family professional, coaching via child yoga methods and Sherborne developmental movement approaches. Auke work at a large Dutch farmer cooperation and is responsible for implementing regenerative farming concepts. One day a week he operates a semi professional bee apiary. Fiep's favorite color is blue :)

What else ...
We had no place in the car for my ukelele, it's at home, and I'm still a beginner but would love to learn to play the ukelele and sing songs in a circle around the campfire :-)
