We are hoping to buy a plot where we not only can enjoy the rain forest, but also plant new trees and do some vegetable and fruit farming. Well, since we now found a rental house where we are planning to stay until such plot is found – or until we have to decide to go back to Europe – we can start preparing and practicing. … More We started farming
About two and a half years ago, I decided to start a company to build database applications for biologists, NGOs, companies, government agencies and other actors in nature conservation.

De laatste paar weken is het me niet gelukt een weekverslag te schrijven. Teveel te doen en te weinig tijd en energie.

Gelukt.
