    Hello friends!

    We're a family of three living off the grid on 14 hectares of rolling hills in the Alentejo close to the town of Grândola. Tiago, 45, May-Britt 27, and Zane, 3.

    Here we live in a yurt since three years and are about to finish our new hemp home! At the moment we need someone training our 3 year old horse.

    Our condition is that you come in your camper and are able to make yourself comfortable during winter rainy months (otherwise wait till spring!)!

    There’s a veggie garden, chickens, cats and dogs.

    - Please don’t bring any pets. We had difficult experiences with other peoples dogs. Sorry! -

    We tend together to the altar of family.

    Interests being: soul retrieving, conscious conception, autonomous child birth, free learning for children, food production (veggie & animal), water, sustainable building, ancestral skills, relationships, sound, prayer, plant (spirit) healing, breath work, movement & flow of the body - combining the sacred with the daily.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We're a multi lingual couple, speaking Swiss-german and Portugues together and having often friends over with whom we speak in English. Tiago speaks seven languages himself. He's ancestry is from Portugal and May's from Switzerland.

    We're both creators and love to create with our hands. We create handmade soap and other herbal creations. We love plants and like to work with them and learn from them.

    We have radical views around childbirth and free learning for children (as a means of integrating them into community), that we create our lives around, knowing the next generation will vastly benefit from it.

    What else ...

    There's a river 7 km away, and the beach about 40 min by car.
    The land is quite far in the wild, o mato, and we don't have bikes yet. So be prepared to spend time on your own in wild nature too. Shopping for essentials is in Grândola, 30 min by car, and Vila Nova de Santo André or Santiago do Cacém, a little bit farther.
