  PROJECT 1: Porto - Its a building’s located in a historical place in the city. The experience will be very genuine. During the time off helpers can have a great experience to have contact with locals, neighbors. The building is fully served by transports so helpers can travel in the city, can have a bike and can travel around the country in their free time.
  
  PROJECT 2: Vilar do Pinheiro: Its a kind of a countryside house needing a lot of care. Vilar do Pinheiro is a small village, 20 minutes from Porto by car or 25 by metro. The house is 10mn walking distance to metro station and 3 minutes walking from the village center where is possible to find almost everything..
  The house DO NOT have the basic condition to live but the project is exactly that. Provide condition to live, renovating the house, starting from doing a bathroom and a kitchen. The guests can stay in a tent in meantime or can adapt a space for sleeping with good condition. The house have water and electricity.
  I Ideally look for this project couples or more than one person. Also looking for someone who can stay minimum one month and maximum there’s no limit, since both parts are happy…
