    Travelling

  • Description

    Now I took a break from my work as a psychologist to travel in Peru for two months from January 22nd to March 24th with my husband Sten who works as a CBT-therapist and busdriver. We bring my 8 year old son Lion who has Downs syndrome and mainly speaks with sign language.

    I have been a workaway host myself (FamilyBergstad) with my ex husband for 2 years.

    Me and Sten enjoy to work with practical outdoor things together with Lion as carpenters, masonry, carrying things, digging, watering in our sparetime combined with spiritual experiences, noviolent communication and jazzmusic. We have built by ourselves most parts of the small house we live in in the forest and choose ecological food.
