Kartka Marty z Hossegor

We came to France without much of a plan – more to catch our breath and be somewhere where life moves at a slower pace. Such a change of scenery allows us to gain a fresh perspective, discover new sources of inspiration, and nurture our bonds. We also had no idea what kind of weather to expect, as April by the ocean can bring various scenarios... we packed both swimsuits and winter jackets and shoes (luckily, we mostly used our summer wardrobe).

This trip is more than just a moment of respite for us – it's also a bit of an experiment that allowed us to see what life would be like in a different environment, with homeschooling for the children and remote work. Interestingly, it turns out that slow living doesn't have to mean neglecting daily chores and school responsibilities. Homework took Tadeusz and Wanda a maximum of 2 hours a day, and when we had to work a bit more, the children spent time reading books, playing in the pool, playing tennis in the garden, and sometimes even squabbling – as you do ;). Once Kuba and I had finished all our calls, emails, and current tasks – we escaped with the children for bodyboarding, cycling, surfing, or collecting shells on the beach.
