About Me

Nomad life

ABOUT ME

open-minded and curious about the world. We're the outcome of a holiday fling turned serious, and since the process involved several continent, we're only more eager to see the rest of it all !! Now parents of two, trips have become more seldom and with a couple more suitcases 😄 but the vibe is stilled there.
Also, I think being multicultural and multilingual helps us stay fit!!

PHILOSOPHY

Generate amazing experiences for our kids, while enjoying the voyage..

We knew each other in Buenos Aires, what else?!

Teach, Learn, Share

(Dave) They should call me Mart the sponge, I'm eager to learn anything I can lay my mind on..
But, hey, I'm not selfish, I got some love to give, too..
