  Description

  Join in me at this lovely place between the ocean and the mountains.
  For the following weeks I'm offering a room in my house in exchange for some help. We can go surfing together, enjoy the sunset over the sea and eat some nice vegetarian food.
  The house is located in a quiet area with a stunning ocean view. It's an older house with a garden, so there are always something that needs to be done. So if you enjoy nature, a cute doggo and helping a bit around the house, I think we could have a great time. : )
  I like doing yoga, gardening and working on living more sustainable.

  I'm German so I can't offer an authentic Portuguese experience, but I'm more than happy to show you what I discovered. :) If you enjoy surfing, we can go together. I like to meet new people and hear about their stories.

  Help

  This is an older house that still need some renovations and the usual maintenance. The more handyman skills you have, the better. : )
  Right now the trees really need a trim and an old chicken shed needs to get removed.
  I would like to have some help building a fence and improving the house. It would be great if you know how to use tools and we can figure out what projects we can start together.
  Taking care of the garden, like mowing, weeding and cleaning could also be good.

  Accommodation

  You will have your own room inside of my house and we will share the bathroom. We have a garden and a really nice view. :)
  I'm vegetarian and would not feel comfortable if you had to prepare meat in my kitchen. Vegan is no problem and I'm happy to share my favourite foods with you.

  What else ...

  Getting around with public transport should be fine, but I never tried. I try to surf as often as possible, so you can always join or just stay at the beach. I can also drop you somewhere, if you want to get around and have no car. One part of the Caminho Santiago de Compostela runs next to the house and it a short walk to waterfalls and the mountains. I also like to get outside whenever possible and search some adventure or picknick.
  Viana do Castelo is super close and a nice little town to discover. By car its fast to go to the National Park or Spain.
