Description
Hi everyone!
At the end of 2019 I bought an old abandoned farm in the South West Algarve.
I am mostly self sufficient here, living off grid from solar and growing my own vegetables. I have a few other people here living on my land.
I often have horses here and would like help to look after them.
I would really love a Portuguese workawayer who can help me improve my language skills.
