=============
I am looking for a strong person to help with hedge cutting and garden / outside house maintenance starting towards the summers end for a couple of weeks + and winter cleaning . We will work together at times but someone who is able to also work on their own at times would be good.You don't need to be a gardener but you do need to love working outside in peace and quiet. Although we will share some meals together, sometimes we will be out or unavailable so you may be on your own too.It is important that you can cook well as we need to share cooking and cleaning up too. PLEASE READ BELOW as it's very important.
We are sometimes naturist / clothes optional especially if the sun comes out so if you come here please be open. Many Workaways have really enjoyed it here over the years. We eat vegetarian a couple of days a week but most days eat meat, we mention this as its not easy to cook for different diets.
If you have any questions at all please just ask. I leave below our old description. Thanks for reading this. Ana is Portuguese Chris British.
Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Ana is Portuguese national living and working as a school teacher so can give some insight into Portuguese life. Chris is English and loves to talk and share experiences. We like to keep fit, practice yoga, walk and swim at the beach. We go occasionally to local concerts and cultural events. Lisbon and Sevilla are a 3 hour €20 bus trip away
Arbeit
.
Its easy to walk down to the beach in thirty minutes and there will be opportunities to go out with Chris and Ana if you would like.we have a big loveable dog called Bou.
If your interested in yoga, massage and keeping fit it would be great to share, learn and support our practice. It would be great to do massage exchange / swap if you are skilled or interested in learning.
We are fairly quiet people, reading gardening yoga and cooking so if your a party animal we're probably the wrong match. Thanks for reading and feeling free to ask questions. Ana & Chris

Ana came at short notice to help us out with house sitting and carrying out jobs around our home. We felt very happy to leave our home, dog Bou and cat in Ana's capable hands and arrived home to find she had done loads of jobs around the property. Trustworthy, sensible and easy to be around........ Thanks again.
