    Description

    We are a family living on a big piece of land. We have chicken a dog and two cats.

    There is also a small carpentry workshop on the land where I earn my daily bread.
    There are always projects happening on a plot like this besides the general maintenance.

    We are situated near a small village. Walking distance approx. 10--15 minutes
    and about 4 km from the nearest beach.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The south west algarve is a unique and beautiful place.
    There are several beaches to explore and the winters here are mild and mostly sunny.

    We live completely off-grid which brings a few challenges, but over the years we have established everything for our needs.

    As I am a trained and skilled carpenter, working in this trade for 20 years now you might be able to also pick up a few tricks and hints when it comes to woodworking.
    Off course I am also always interested in picking up new ideas and approaches to projects no matter what kind. I love to learn myself.

    There are no special skills required except that of friendliness.
    Basically any helping hand is welcome. We will need help in gardening, and on landscaping, pruning trees, collecting almonds and figgs aswell as carrob harvesting depending on the season.

    At the moment I am creating a new wooden cabin on the land and a lot of work needs to be done to create another living unit. The idea is to also build an outside bathroom and a terrace.
