Staying with Jack & Ina made me realize how valuable daily routine, meditation, and being in nature can be. Not to forget the deliciously prepared meals.
Thank you for your openness, taking care of me so well, and having me in your home. Wishing you both all the best, and I'm happy to be back one day!

Working and living with Daniela & ALexandru was just at ease and harmonious.
In the morning we practised Vipassana Meditation together, then a little house cleaning before breakfast.
Our daily work was about working in the veggie garden, planting and weeding.
Besides that there is always grass to cut, with a lawn mower or strimmer.

Recomendo vivamente o espaço do Jack. Tive dias memoráveis e fui acolhida com muito carinho.
O Jack é um anfitrião estupendo, que te transmite uma paz em todos os momentos.
A meditação com ele foi diversificada e gratificante.
A cadela dele, Magic, é um doce e recebeu o meu cão muito bem.
Posso dizer que ganhei um amigo. 🤗
