About Me

CURRENT MISSION

we cannot travel at the moment, so we invite the world to our home

ABOUT ME

We are a married couple from Germany (M40/W36) who like to meet people, chatting, cooking, enjoying nature.. and food.
A greek mongrel is squatting in our home.. she is a very kind, friendly and always hungry dog.
We are into cooking and eating, organic food, politics, history, ..we tend to be a bit chaotic, at times...

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody is entitled to his/her beliefs :-)

And we love to talk and learn about new things and different concepts
