Descrição
Hi, I’m Mike, a traveller and world citizen. I landed here a while ago to live a simple life, surrounded by nature. Here, I create eco-friendly spaces based on permaculture principles.
I live a vegetarian and healthy lifestyle without smoking, alcohol and other drugs.
I meditate and do yoga for a healthy body and a balanced mind. You're welcome to join or share your experiences and wisdom.
If you are a team player, create art, play music, have skills to share, and have a positive attitude, please apply. If you are eager to learn, have some sense of humour, play chess, or need a healthy break, let me know.
I'll look forward to welcoming you if you want to contribute, teach and learn by experience. Jobs are: carpentry, natural building, gardening, landscaping, organising pizza parties and treasure hunts and more., Sometimes we do hikes and campfires.
I ask for a minimum stay of one month, preferably longer, to allow for meaningful contribution both ways.
I also look out for responsible, skilled volunteers, leaders and couples for long-term commitments. There are still some houses and land available for restoration, for rent or for sale.
I offer comfortable accommodation, good food, good times and freedom.
Sleeping options range from a shared house to a gypsy wagon, caravan, tepee, or tent in the summer.
Facilities include compost toilets, natural bathrooms, a lake for bathing, and simple shower setups. We are working on better facilities. There’s electricity and good internet for conscious use while we aim to stay as independent as possible.
There’s very clear and clean air and drinking water.
The surrounding hills are home to some international and like-minded families, altogether more kids than adults. We form a small community that we call Bratea, the circle of people. We support each other while respecting personal space. We work, build, plant, and celebrate life together.
Please let me know which period you wish to stay.
I'll be looking forward to welcoming you, meeting you and working with you,
Have good travels,
Mike

Dayana helped very well in all fields where help was needed. She has a strong character probably coming from her Nicaraguan temperamen and has a strong judgment wich can cause some tension and delay in the work. Overall she is a very lovely and loving person that will certainly enliven your project!
