Beschreibung
Olá, I am Anir, a happy 71 year-young Dutch woman. I lived for almost 18 years in the lower mountains of Central Portugal together with my animals. There, from 2013, I received many volunteer-guests. Together we did small building jobs, took care of the animals (cats, dogs an chickens) worked in the gardens and went on short trips. A great joy!!
Now, it's already two years ago I've moved from my off grid life in the 'campo'; from the mountains to a village close to the seaside.
I love Workaway idea, so I moved it with me!
I'm an artist, and in the past I have done a number of projects in the national and international art community. After all this years of building and ecology work, I recently picked up my profession again.
Mountains have been moved since the move, mostly with the help of Workaway volunteers! A small garden has been realized, that only needs now some maintenance. My studio is ready and I am regularly working there.
Besides my art, I like gardening, vegan or vegetarian cooking, reading, writing and taking walks. I speak intermediate-level Portugese and am still learning the language. Sometimes I take trips to the seaside or go to explore interesting locations nearby. I also like visiting local markets. I find these trips to be much more enjoyable together with somebody else. I like to show my guest volunteers the local countryside, historical villages/spots, archaeological sites and other special places in the area.
If possible, I like to work on projects with my guests. On the other hand, I expect you to be able to work independently, so that I have the space to work intensively on my work.
Even though it is claimed that I am a good cook, do not be discouraged by this; I am very curious about what you can serve me!Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

I would like to take one or more times to go with guests to interesting surrounding locations. The number of trips of course depends on length of stay.
Because of my age / life experience I have a lot to share and enjoy reflection and conversation with guests.
For example: I lived in the low mountains of Central Portugal for a long time, and have I have experience with the local people there. Now that I live here, where the landscape is open and where it is almost always windy, I notice how the different landscapes also affect people and their cultures.
I'm also interested about your life experiences, reflections and insights.Arbeit

There is a cozy guest room with views over the village and the surrounding fields. It is also possible to use the wi-fi . There is a bathroom; a washing machine is available... And of course we eat meals together.
The food will be vegan / vegetarian for te most. On the other hand, I also want to adjust myself a bit to my guest; I myself eat fish occasionally and exceptionally some meat.
Linen and towels provided.
A minimum stay of 10 days (or longer) is my preference .Was noch ...
I have a car, so I can collect you from Lourinhã or Peniche bus station or the Bombarral train station, for example.
Also important: The village (São Bartolomeu dos Galegos) has a cash machine, some cafes and two small grocery shops. There are pharmacies, a post-office, bakeries, ('pastelaria'), and bigger supermarkets together with other shops in Lourinhã. It is possible to catch a bus to Lourinhã, or together with me in the car.
Lourinhã and the sea side are about 8 km away.Etwas mehr Information

You helped me tremendously! It's nice if someone can work independently. What makes me extra happy is that you were able to help me reassemble one of my works. A patient job of precision, which I did not succeed at.

You helped me a lot, both with the cleaning and with the delicious lunches that you prepared. You take the work seriously; you do it all accurately and also with the greatest pleasure.
While walking, eating and so on, we had good conversations; there was always a reason; always a topic.

Anir treats her workawayers as guests. She gives us the biggest bedroom with a wonderful, small balcony overlooking the charming village, and she gives us sole use of a large, well-equipped bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. She adjusts her life for ours; on my visit she changed her pescatarian… read more
You really know about tackling things and that made it easier for me, because I'm not very good with calling the shots. Although we were not lucky with the weather, we were still able to work in the garden. We could make trips and walks.
I really appreciate your assistance,… read more
Alain stayed here for almost three weeks. From the start it was a very enjoyable and relaxed experience.
Nice that the household chores could be left to him. The lunches were taking care of and, mmmmm.., so delicious! The soups in the evening were also excellent.

Estefano, you have a great sense of responsibility and you're a hard worker. As far as I'm concerned, that's very nice, because I still find it difficult to rule the roost, run the show.

Lovely food nice trips , and interesting conversation.
And now (important!!) a reassurance for all hosts who might have doubts about Petra's diet: Don't worry about it! Petra will take care of her own food supply and will be happy to take care of your menu.
Let Petra go ahead, she sees what needs to be done and (if necessary) it's easy to consult with her. Furthermore, we… read more

Thank you for your help and company.
We had a good time together. You always put a delicious warm lunch on the table. A tribute to Turkish cuisine!
Nice that household chores have been done, these are also those things that never stop.
Wish you all the best. If you want to come again in the future, you are welcome!
For your compassion. That alone is enough to say that I would like to receive you again next time.
Lots of love, health and other best wishes, Anir
So nice that the small household chores were done and especially (after you first investigated `how`) you thoroughly cleaned the mold walls. But I am most content about having helped me with the varnishing of the tins.

Also for your feedback, I can largely agree with that. Yet I would like to add my view here.

First of all, I would like to thank you very much for the work you have done here. It's always great to have someone who can work independently. The job seemed simple, but certainly it wasn't easy. We have to discuss a lot; a matter of patience and fortunately we both had that.

I look back at a very pleasant positive time. You have helped me well with mowing, after you have repaired the first brush cutter. A pity you had to leave earlier than planned. so you could n't finish the other job. Doesn't matter; I am glad that we have been able to make in any case, those beautiful trip!
The time you were here is flown by! And what we can do a lot. Part of the garden and the whole vegetable garden is back in order. I am very happy with it. But I'm most happy about, is that you are afflicted with practical insights. That means that you usually have enough to 'half an ear'; you see what needs to be done and also do… read more
