Description
We are a family of four (mum, dad, two boys) that live in the countryside of Punta del Este, 7 km away from the nearest beach. In 2016 we moved from Montevideo city in order to have a life more quiet, relax and start a sustainable project in a 3 hectares land. We are ready for you to make this real! We have a big garden with food and little fruit trees. We are going to install solar power in the house and a cleaning salt system for the swimming pool. As family, we enjoy simple life with nature making activities with our son like gardening, cooking, yoga, music, art. Also, we live a very social life, always with friends and family. We like to know people from different cultures that also respect nature and people. We love traveling and take trips, so sometimes we're not at home :)

Pronto seremos una familia de cuatro integrantes (mamá, papá, hijo de 2 años, bebé recién nacido) que vive en una zona rural de Punta del Este, a 7km de la playa más cercana. En el 2016 nos mudamos de la capital Montevideana en busca de un estilo de vida más relajado, tranquilo y con la idea de iniciar un proyecto sustentable en 12 hectáreas de tierra. Te necesitamos para que esto se vuelva realidad! Tenemos una gran jardín con huerta y pequeños árboles frutales. Queremos instalar paneles solares para la casa y un sistema de sal para limpiar la piscina. Vivimos de manera simple y en contacto con la naturaleza, disfrutando con nuestro hijo de actividades como la jardinería, la yoga, de cocinar, la música, el arte, etc. Además nos gusta siempre estar entre amigos y familia. Nos gusta compartir con personas de diferentes culturas y que también respeten la naturaleza y a las personas. Nos encanta viajar y pasear así que a veces no estamos en casa.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We love to share our daily family life with travelers. We spent time together making music (dijeridoo, guitar, drums), cooking, making gardening and doing kids activities. You will definitely learn about differents plants, trees and gardening. In summer we enjoy the swimming pool baths, we go to the beach or friend’s house. In winter mom Romina teaches in a public school (you can meet a lesson class in Uruguay if you like) and baby goes to kindergarten in the morning, so we can enjoy together in the evenings. We love to teach Spanish or to practice English, Italian or Portuguese.

We've got variety of food in the garden like onions, lettuce, tomatoes, potato, watermelon, leaks, presley, garlic, strawberries...
