    Description

    Hi lovely people,

    We are currently living in a off grid community called Malama, in Alentejo. At the moment we are creating our own Paradise there and would love some help. We are doing a lot of building: a deck, outside bathroom and finish our green roof above the caravan.

    About us:

    We (Jasper & Steph) decided to look for something positive in 2012 because we were a sick of all the negativity around us. So we made a trip through the South of Europe. Visiting all kinds of places where people live in an alternative, off-grid and permaculture way. During this trip we've made short films about inspiring people who showed us their little paradises. At the end of the trip we stumbled upon a beautiful piece of land in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
    But that place is history and we are now creating a new spot again in Portugal.

    We love natural building! We are specialised in bread/pizza clay oven.

    If you want to learn about natural building and experience a beautiful established community, please come and help us out!
