Description
Hello,
My name is Alexandre. I am living in a small village in the north of Portugal close to the border with Galicia.
I decided to move here 4 years ago for the quality of life, No traffic jam, no industries , just nature
My aim is to grow vegetables and sell them at the local weekly market.
I love to meet new people and make friends, I volunteer in South America and other countries before to come in Portugal.
I started to plant fruit trees and make Hügelkultur
