Description
Greetings!
We are Ale and Marc, Argentinian-Catalan, and our two precious ones (1.5 and 3 years old). We live in the middle of the forest in W Tree, in an eco-village, practicing all possible sustainability measures. We coexist with many precious little animals, as the flora and fauna are highly protected and privileged here.
Marc, an ecological economist and inspirational writer. Ale, a former language teacher turned social entrepreneur. We balance work and study remotely, embracing a lifestyle centered on sacred reciprocity—harmonious relationship with nature, others, and ourselves.
For the past decade, our journey has revolved around sustainability, permaculture, circular economy, housing affordability, and purpose-driven governance. We're deeply inspired by ancient knowledge, particularly First Nations ways of life. As parents to two young ones, we are exploring child centered, nature-based, place-based, play-based approaches as well as attachment parenting.
We're multilingual, seasoned travelers, relish multiculturalism and delight in cooking quality, healthy meals: food here is not just healthy but also healing, mostly organic and vegetarian.
In our free time, we organize trips to the beach, natural parks, hikes, activities for our children, and meals with friends.
We're looking to share our space, lifestyle, and parenting style. This exchange is ideal for nature lovers, those seeking a break from city life, anyone in a moment of spiritual exploration, or those in need of time, focus, and inspiration for a creative artistic project.
We can accommodate individuals, couples, and even families.
If this resonates, lets chat further
Look forward to meaningful connections, shared laughs, and memorable experiences.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our primary goal is to create a secure and nurturing environment that upholds individuals on their unique journeys. We prioritize compassionate communication, respect for consent, attending to each other's needs, and fostering genuine connections.
Indulge in the therapeutic benefits of nourishing food, predominantly organic and vegetarian-pescatarian, crafted with love and joy. Try a diverse range of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Mexican, Asian, and Indian. We happily accommodate dietary requests, so feel free to discuss any needs. For your convenience, we provide basic supplies for breakfast and dinner, for you to prepare your meals. We cook and share lunch.
To buy any additional food, there's a nearby food coop or other stores in Buchan, Lakes Entrance, or Bairnsdale.
We offer language exchange in Spanish, Catalan, and English. We're also enthusiastic about sharing our knowledge on various topics, from sustainability frameworks and the pursuit of balanced ecosystems to astrology-astronomy, dream yoga, and our evolving "art of finding ourselves" practice.
Explore our library stocked with high-quality books and a collection of special magazines. Additionally, we have documentaries available for sharing.
During your downtime, we can help organize activities such as beach visits, trekking, swimming in natural pools, You're also welcome to join in on family activities.

Aide
We are seeking assistance with property maintenance, both indoors and outdoors. Tasks like polishing and painting doors and window frames, clearing outdoor areas and setting up structures.
(If qualified and experienced for very specific jobs that require some skills, like concrete work, rendering, wood work, we are happy to adjust the exchange)
Collaboration with neighbors is important to us, creating an opportunity to learn new skills, share stories, and connect with the community.
In our routine, the first part of the day is usually dedicated to "giving time" for chores and work, leaving ample time afterward for "receiving time" quality shared or personal time. Sometimes, we need to adjust the schedule due to weather conditions.
