About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to educate ourselves on the the nuances of marzipan, meat and malbec

ABOUT ME

We are excited to meet people from all over the world and we have traveled a lot in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Once we get settled again--in April--our home is open to you!

PHILOSOPHY

Neither of us have ever been so good at summing up a personal philosophy...let´s just say its always being formed and challenged, but we both live by the principle of being warm and friendly to others, even when they may be hostile, and this usually heeds good results...
