The Experience

I'm raising my son on my own since he was born in Sept '21. The two of us live in a yurt my dad built for us, we love it there. The best way to be of help is simply for you to be the second adult in the household: you can read a book with my son while I get lunch ready - or the other way around... And at the same time looking forward to sharing about different places and people, having travelled much myself.

Ich hatte eine super schöne zeit bei Fabienne. Ich war nur eine Woche bei ihr und ihrem Sohn, aber habe mich sofort willkommen gefühlt. Man kann total interessante Gespräche mit ihr führen. Sie hat eine sehr offene, angenehme Art und ich konnte viel von ihr lernen. Z. B. über das nachhaltige Leben, oder über Buddhismus, Human Design oder den Umgang mit Kindern bzw. Ihrem Kind. Mit dem Kind habe ich auch geholfen, was gut geklappt hat. Besser wäre es gewesen, wenn mein Französisch noch besser wäre, da wir uns manchmal nicht verstanden haben, aber mit ein bisschen Mühe klappt das auch!❤️
