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!Types of help and learning opportunities

Wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my time with you which gave me an insight into a completely different way of life. The work up at the acequia was also a unique experience. I would recommend you to any prospective workawayer and would just like to wish you all the best for your impending arrival.
