  Beschreibung

  Hi! My name is Chandni and I am indian-portuguese. I am 31 years old.
  
  
  I recently sold my apartment in the city, packed my life into boxes and started over in nature. I currently live with my pets - Shiva (1,5y dog), and 2 beautiful cats - Gipsy and Goa.
  
  
  I have travelled quite a bit around the world and this is the first time I will be a host rather than a workawayer!
  But the best journeys I have had were inside myself, as I let psychedelics reshape my life and I've never looked at the world the same way since.
  
  
  Who are you?
  Someone that loves and respects animals - non negotiable :)
  Open minded, easygoing and self sustainable!
  
  
  My House:
  My house is my sanctuary.
  I live in a 6-bedroom countryside house, which requires a lot of maintenance and small tasks during the day.
  I work remotely so I spend a lot of time here.
  The house is surrended my mountains and trees, isolated enough to make you feel at peace.
  
  
  Location:
  The house is located in a small village 1h away from the city of Porto (by car) and 1h30 with public transports.
  Nearest train station is 30min away: Marco de Canaveses
  There is no uber (nor uber eats ahah) around here but its very close to any services you might need, including a big supermarket.
  A car is necessary to get your way around, or a bike! I have my car and I dont mind helping or sharing it when necessary.
  
  
  What can I share?
  Stories, laughter, honest conversations
  A taste of life in the Portuguese countryside
  If you are curious, I can share what I have learned from psychedelics, nature, and a slower way of living
  I am happy to cook together, explore the area or simply sit in silence

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Experience rural Portugal — peaceful mornings, starry nights, and friendly locals.
  
  Meet my animals (dogs and cats) and experience life in a home shared with furry companions.
  
  Learn about Portuguese culture from someone who grew up here — from food and traditions to local ways of life.
  
  Hear stories and perspectives from my Portuguese–Indian background, and how that mix has shaped my worldview.
  
  Share meals, swap recipes, and enjoy long conversations about life, travel, and personal growth.
  
  Learn about gardening, sustainable living, and my journey with psychedelics and intentional living.
  
  Explore nearby villages, local markets, and the Douro River area together.
  
  Exchange knowledge — I have a background in psychology, work as a coach, and run a support group in Porto, so we can dive into conversations about human behaviour, relationships, and self-development.
  
  Teach me something from your own culture — a skill, a craft, or even a favourite dish.
  
  Join in creative projects like designing a natural swimming pool, building a dome, or improving the land.

  Arbeit

  Everyday tasks:
  Small jobs around the house — little repairs, touch-ups, and DIY projects.
  Moving furniture — strong arms needed to help shift things around.
  Lots of Gardening skills — planting, weeding, and helping the garden thrive.
  Chopping wood & related outdoor skills — for those who like a bit of outdoor muscle work.
  Caring for my pets
  
  Immediate project:
  Breaking a wall in the living room — making the space bigger and brighter.
  
  The dream project:
  I’d love to build a natural swimming pool/lake on my land (if you have experience with this, you’re my hero!) and I would love to create a beautiful dome space (for relaxation, gatherings, or maybe even stargazing nights).
  
  If you have ideas to make the space even more beautiful or functional, bring them on. I’m always open to a little creative magic.

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  You’re welcome to bring your dog — I have a big fenced property for them to run around. My dog, Shiva, is very sociable, so I can only host friendly dogs who are proven to get along well with both other dogs and cats.
