  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  I love languages and would be happy to teach you Dutch. The plot of land is 2005m2 in size and the garden is very random and still in development as it's young and building is also happening. A bit of permaculture, a bit of vegetable garden and lots of flowers. I will happily share my love and knowledge of plants and what I don't know we'll figure out together :) I draw and illustrate and can show you my gear, tips and tricks. My neighbours are all good people and we get along great, strike a conversation with them anytime.

  Ajuda

  Building a house in the near future and I am currently looking for companionship to help preparing the building site.
  
  In the garden there is always lots to do! I hope you like digging, we can share the love of digging in heavy clay :) I don't have a drivers license so need help picking things up, I can borrow a (stick shift!) car easily.
  
  - general decluttering
  - make paths with available decking material
  - chickens; build a bigger chickencoop, foxproof. Build fencing and maybe a chickentractor so they can feast on bugs and greens in different spots
  - make low beds for vegetables, fill with cardboard and compost
  - feed the chickens, land-turtles and play with the cats
  - garden jobs
  - projects :) I'm open to ideas and fond of reusing materials left over from the building process
  - cooking is appreciated (I follow the lectin free diet; anti inflammatory and all freshly made)
  Please tell me as many details about yourself as you can and also what you are experienced in, what your goal is and why you would like to stay here.

  Algo mais...

  I'll provide you with a bycicle, public transport is at 18 minutes walking but not frequent. A weekend and evening bus goes at 40 minutes walking or 10 minutes on the bike. It's 25 minutes by car to Amsterdam and 30 minutes cycling to the train station. There is a organic market every saturday and the supermarket plus some convenient stores and supermarkets are at 7 minutes cycling. Almere Oosterwold is an experimental young neighbourhood outside the city. Only 12,5% of each plot is allowed to be built on, so there is lots of green and interesting architechture. 50% of the plots have to be dedicated to urban agriculture, free to fill in. The plots are large. It's only 6 years old so lots of people are still building and there's great community spirit. I feel rather lucky living here and would like to offer you the opportunity to see this and meet people. =] There are really nice neighbours here and we help each other out if needed. We can discuss minimum working hours, no problem. I'm not sure I'm the best of cooks and unfortunately there is a list of things I shouldn't eat (lectin free) but we can work it out :) Help cooking will be really helpfull since I have a job and this project building my own house to manage.
