Beschreibung
Sunlight and cake bring endless joy to my life :) More seriously, I am a curious person who enjoys discovering other cultures, learning languages, reading. Currently finishing my master's in philosophy. I studied or worked in the UK, France, Germany, Malta, currently living in Lithuania. I work for the government mostly, in creative industries, research & development or climate action. I have done volunteering at various cultural events, festivals. Because I've always lived in large-ish cities, I crave greenery and quiet. I much prefer slow travel, weeks to months, where you get to organically discover things, feel more like you're living there than just visiting.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Enjoy farm life near Guarda, ...)

Our 2 weeks at Joy and Heiko's farm were lovely and we will for sure return when we find the time again! We would have stayed longer, alas, we had other commitments. Friend and I wanted to spend time in nature, travel Portugal a bit and have a break from our mentally exhausting work on the computer. This workaway exceeded our expectations on all… read more counts.

We are city people, so in some ways, we can be fussy just cus of that (we like our hot showers, preferably fast internet and we have (had?) 0 farm skills), but we felt comfortable and appreciated just how we are.

THE HOSTS
Very hospitable, friendly and reasonable people. We had lunch/dinner several times a week, it was always easy and fun. They showed us around the region, too. We never felt awkward around them while we ourselves can come off awkward because we are introverted by nature.

There are 2 friendly dogs and 2 cutie pie cats. We are rather cat people and like only nice dogs. We got on great with Lulu and Raldo because they are well-behaved and sweet dogs.

THE FARM
Huge and beautiful, lots of trees, fruit trees, too, many places to hang out without constantly running into people. River access is lovely - I spent many afternoons there reading in the shade. I enjoyed rowing up and down the river a lot. While the river is pretty cool temp-wise to swim in, there is a large swimming pool for weaklings like me.

THE WORK
Building a shed (laying foundation), gardening (weeding, trimming, etc.), usually starting at 7.30

It was hot when we were there (like 31-35C on many days - beginning of July), but we never worked in scorching sun for long enough to be really bothered. The more physically demanding tasks were done in the early morning while it's cool. Never felt overworked or exploited at all. My friend was sick for a couple days when we arrived and he was never made to feel bad over not being able to work. He felt bad all on his own. :)

THE ACCOMMODATION
The cabin we stayed in, just friend and I!, was even comfier than described. We slept in different rooms, which for us light sleepers was great. Nights are cool, so we slept well. Beds were comfy, mosquito nets everywhere. The kitchen is well-fitted, with airfryer, gas stove, plenty of spices to cook nice food and unlimited olive oil from olives on the farm. Internet connection was good (like 80-90mbps) with sufficient ping to do work on virtual desktop. There was a yoga mat with blocks, books and board games, TV where you can watch movies, on Netflix or other, and through HDMI, too.
