  Beschreibung

  Rural properties with tough access or steep terrain in the Azores were abandoned as subsistence farming declined and maintaining these lands became financially unviable. Because of this, invasive species like longose and reeds have taken over the Azorean landscape.
  
  Me and my dad (locals) have been working on such a property since 2018, which is located next to fresh springs, a beautiful waterfall, ancient watermills, a secluded beach, and plenty of hiking trails and creeks to explore.
  Join us, and our dog Thor, in our quest to restore the nature and cultural history of this unique place and to establish a homestead !

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  As a local, I can introduce you to Azorean customs and traditions. There will be town or family events you can join to get a firsthand experience of our cuisine and culture. Plus, our property is near a popular hiking trail, so you'll have plenty of chances to meet other travelers from all over!
  
  I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and a bit of French. I've lived in the Azores for most of my life, but I've also spent time abroad for studies and work in the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, and the US.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  In addition to working on the land, I am a PhD student in Belgium and will be working remotely during the summer. At the location, we have electrity and internet (15Mb/s) and I have computer screens. So it is a suitable place for laptop digital nomads, as there is not much desk space availiable or dedicated places for the purpose.
