    **Currently seeking someone with basic building skills to help me make a very simple wood extension on the cabin**


    Me (Leah), my mother Rachel and my 5 year old son Oscar are keen to start hosting again after taking a little pause...

    We all live at my mothers quintal, me and Oscar live in a wood cabin, Rachel lives in the main house and our guest accommodation is the basement. This is a lovely little place close to the town of Seia. The house is surrounded by a modest garden with a stunning view of the mountains. We are on the edge of a village but feeling a little secluded.

    I work 3 days per week as a gardener and do a bit of online work teaching English. Rachel works mostly online tutoring children.
    We both like to be busy with activities in the garden and the kitchen and there are always endless tasks to do here.

    We need help with gardening, house maintenance, cooking, fermenting and preserving as well as fixing a few things on the buildings. Of course it depends on each individuals skills as to what we will be doing. Mostly the reason for hosting workaways is to make friendships and enjoy the company of others, eat work play, laugh and go on adventures together.

    I am in the process of saving to buy some land to start a forest garden myself, with some interesting land based projects in mind. I would also like to build a porch onto the cabin at some point if there is someone with these skills who could help me.

    A bit about us -
    I am passionate about real food and soil, love animals and working with nature, keen to be part of reforesting our local area with native species. Rewilding feels important to me and everywhere I have been so far I have created amazing habitats for wildlife to return, I have enjoyed seeing bare and barren farm land transform into a safe haven for the many different species of birds and insects to come and thrive, along with growing super healthy food to forage.

    Over the years I have created growing spaces based on the ideas of synergistic gardening among other designs using Permaculture principles in setting up systems. I have been in Portugal for 6 years and have previously worked as a gardener and a farmer in the UK. I am a kind, humble and motivated person who is happy working together with others and sharing meals and playing games. I love taking hikes and being in nature, foraging and picnics by the lake in the mountains, to name a few.
    Communication and connection is important so I value those who can be open and honest. I enjoy welcoming people to our home and sharing whatever we have to offer at the time.

    Oscar my son loves to be involved and likes to play and have fun, campfires and board games too, he goes to a montissori/forest school project 3 days a week. When he feels safe and connected he is a super loving, helpful and funny character.

    Rachel is a welcoming and friendly person who is happy to share her home with us and others, she has also been hosting on workaway since she bought this place and has her profile on here too, hopefully I can connect them together.... Rachel has also travelled a lot and has plenty of life experience to share.

    There are often social activities to be involved with locally. There are artisan markets with live music near by and really fun community events and work days to get involved with. We have friends near by, a good mix of people from all over the world. I am 38 and my mum 60 but we welcome people of all ages and backgrounds.

    We also have Indi a very sweet and quiet dog who is a real character and loves outdoor adventures. Then there is Bubu, the cat that came with the house, you may see her from time to time.

    The accommodation is most likely in the basement so you can have your own space and small kitchenette but meals will mostly be shared in the main house or outdoors.

    Check out the photos at the bottom of this page to get a feel of what its like here and we have some photos of trips out that we regularly do such as Tabua market and mountains, lakes and river.

    We eat all types of food and love to taste foods from around the world, you need to be ok with the fact that we eat meat (which we try to source as ethically and locally as possible) so if you are vegetarian then sometimes you may have to cook a separate meal or just not eat the meat part of the meal, we always have plenty of veggies in our cooking and often eat vegetarian meals too.
