  Description

  Ahoy passengers ! My name is Anna. And I’m living in very windy place so do not expect from me to be boring normal 🏴‍☠️🐬Sometimes there comes a moment in life when a person rethinks the entire value system; such a moment has come in my life. This is how my search for myself began and the dream of escaping from the bustle and stress of the big city appeared. My search led me to the wonderful islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, shrouded in the myths of Atlantis - the Azores. From my first visit I felt at home here. After a long search, we finally met each other, me and my 300 year old farm house with a rich history. The last surviving giant of its kind , the Titan. I am artistic person , open to new acquaintances , curious to learning new things and in need of help in realizing my dreams. We are a family of me , my mom , my dog and a new member black cat. I invite those who are strong in spirit and not afraid of the challenges of fate to board my ship!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I prefer to work in a free mode. I expect responsibility and independence from my guests, involvement in the process and interest. If you come into my house, you become part of the house, the family, and not a stranger passerby. We can create something with our own hands, learn to work with lime and clay, create a unique space inside and outside. Be creative and flexible!

  Help

  Our house itself is unique as it witnessed the era of piracy, the last living descendants of the pirates not long ago loved to visit the old tavern that belongs to me and which, to their great sorrow, is forever closed.
  
  Perhaps one day digging up the garden we will discover a treasure, that is why I need brave, adventurous and fearless souls who are not afraid of dirt , water , physical labor or unstable weather and cockroaches with centipedes. If you don't like animals, don't like nature, you don't care about my project, then we're not on the same page. You need to be positive and open mindset to plunge into the sea of ​​creativity.The main idea is to create not just a house and garden, but to create something unique, something that has passed through the centuries and has not lost its character. Art project🦄 What I’m looking for : Any help around the house , handwork, decorating spaces with natural materials, including carpentry, painting, sanding , crafting , building and so on . An artistic approach is welcome, as well as any creative ideas( graffiti for example or mosaic !) if you have no ideas don’t worry I have them a lot ! sense of humor. Gardening: weeding , create vegetable garden, care fruit trees, building a chicken coop, a green house , some small projects around the property. Consciousness of what we are doing and the desire to participate and contribute are must!
