I'm Vanesa. I'm living in the middle of the Pyrenees' highmountains with my little family: Pere (graphic and web designer) and Olivé (our son of 2 years old). I'm the responsible of the Shepherds School of Catalonia that aims to renew the peasantry in our country based in organic agriculture and cattle. Also we work in rural development working with shephers, artisans (wool), young people, economical development, etc. In the other hand I've studied fine arts and I continue illustrating and drawing. We live in a tiny village Olp, at 1.100 metres in a little house. We work and enjoy the nature and the mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how other people live; their thoughts, their habitudes, the music they love, the food the love to eat and cook, the places that they love to visit and get lost, etc.
