Description
Hi there,
my "name is Nora, I am from Berlin, but moved recently to the hills in Portugal. My home is situated about 40 min drive from Lagos. It´s in an off-grid vegan Eco-project where people of many nationalities come together to be more in tune with nature. The nature here is stunning. It´s wild and hilly and there is lots of space (100 acre) to just wander around. There are beautiful natural beaches about 8km from here.
If you care for a jungle-feeling you are right here.
Everybody here has a lot of privatsphere. There are no daily community activites. Everybody has his own projects, that he is working on. Meeting up is up to our own wish and motivation.
For visiting neighbours here, you sometimes have to walk 20-30 min, if it is somone staying at the other end of the area.
This request is for help at my own spot.
I have a son aged 4.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you are interested in simple living you can experience, what it can be like. I am happy to answer any questions regarding vegan living. As I do psychological coaching, I could offer you a free session for a topic of your choice.
You will get an impression of what it is like to live offgrid.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Some dead trees need to be cut down (chain saw).
Eukylyptus wood needs to be stripped and treated.
Soon you could help with the building of a solar-stucture, shed and a roof-structure.
We build with dead Eukalyptus harvested from our land.

Accommodation
There is a nice area for vans and tents.
You will have an amazing view.
A tent and equipment can be provided.
What else ...
In your free time, you can go walking, jogging, surfing at the beach (if you have a car / bike). You can go swimming in a small nearby lake (15 min walk), do Yoga or go for walks.
The closest village is Pedralva, then there is Vila do Bispo a little further. I will be able to pick you up in one of these two places, but I can not offer a regular shuttle service.

He is a great cook, introduced me to qi gong and helped me efficiently in the garden and house. Communicating with Marc was very interesting, as he is very self-reflected and experienced a lot on his travels. He is open and relaxed and I wish him the best of luck to find his dream location, where he can pass on… read more
The area is beautiful and it was great to learn about the community. Nora introduced me to many neighbours and even went to a birthday party of another community member. It's a fascinating concept and Nora was happy to share info on it.
