I spend too much time: gardening
Fun fact: We also travel a lot ourselves.
Hello, we are a family with 2 daughters aged 14 and 16. Together with our goats, cat, and chickens, we also live on the 1 hectare property. We live behind the holiday home, which is separated in such a way that everyone maintains their privacy. If you are looking for peace, beautiful nature and if you want to relax, enjoy the wellness and tranquility, you are completely in the right place with us. See you soon!
