My background is Swiss, Bolivian, and Iranian (no, really). I love food, farming, books, horses, adventure, and silly socks – though not necessarily in that order. Having traveled around the world for a year in 2016-17 to discover, learn, volunteer, and remember how beautiful life is outside an office, my husband and I will be based in Portugal as of mid-2017. The plan is to launch a homestead/farmstay and write about life while enjoying every minute of it.
