We are

We are Carmin, Mia, Dimas, Cala, Noël and Catire. An Argentinean family. We are not hippies but we love freedom. We have a «normal» life, work, school, home, good friends … A nice life. Like many, we have to make ends meet, we struggle to achieve our daily chores, we organize trips and vacations, and we try to live our faith without making «much trouble»  … We like traveling, new places and meeting people. Restless souls, or «culo inquieto» as they say over here. We lived many years in Barcelona, ​​an amazing experience that allowed us to make friendships that will last forever. A few months ago we decided that it was time to fulfill a new dream.

Catire (described by Noël)
Quiet, simple, sincere. Honest. People skills, they say. Loved by all. Likes to be outdoors, the farm, horses, the south of our country. Great cook. He turned his hobby into his profession. A father who is always there. Patient. Daytime. He puts his head on the pillow and falls sleep. But with a few «fernets» he can lift a party that’s decaying. Sensitive, somewhat impulsive, pushing. Sitting in a park drinking mate and talking about this dream he said: «Let’s do it».
