I didn't stay long, just around 10 days, but anyway finding this family was a stroke of luck. I mostly spent time with the youngest one, River, such a teacher. The family is very welcoming and open-minded, kids are very used to having workawayers at home and speak several languages. It was a pleasure to be hosted by you.
