Family fun without breaking the bank

About

Hello, we are The Manica family. Papai Rogerio is both Brazilian and Italian, and Mamae Citra is Indonesian. We met in Australia when we were both studying at Melbourne University. Carla was born in 2009, Renan was born in 2011, and we are currently living in this hot, humid, wonderful place called Singapore.

Update: We are now living in Edmonton, Canada. We arrived here in July 2016.

Feel free to contact us at citramanica@gmail.com

  Yeah, it’s great! I just started blogging again though, so only have a few posts… But will write regularly now, maybe twice a week. Just browsed through your blog, it’s nice!
