    The nearest town (22 km away), São Tomé das Letras, is very famous. Anyone interested in esotericism, mysticism, and history will love it; it has beautiful waterfalls and you'll feel right at home!
    With our daughters, I speak English, my husband, Okhan, speaks Portuguese; we also play music together and sell lots of handicrafts on the streets. We come from different cultures, so you'll get to know both.

    A cidade mais próxima (a 22 km), São Tomé das Letras, é muito famosa. Quem se interessa por esoterismo, misticismo e história vai adorar; lá tem cachoeiras belíssimas e você se sentirá em casa imediatamente!

    We divide our days into EARTH / WATER / PLANTS / ART / CONSTRUCTION AND GARDENING. Tasks generally include harvesting, cutting, preparing the soil, planting seeds, watering, pruning, weeding, hoeing, and picking fruit. Other tasks may include a bioconstruction project, such as a dry toilet or a bamboo greenhouse. There are also many art projects around the house, as we want to make it colorful! You will learn a lot about permaculture, agroforestry, and bioconstruction. It will be a skills exchange, as we believe everyone has their (hidden, yet undiscovered) talents/goals in life. Let's bring syntropy to this Workaway experience!

    Dividimos nossos dias em TERRA / ÁGUA / PLANTA / ARTE / CONSTRUÇÃO E JARDINAGEM. As tarefas geralmente incluem colher, cortar, preparar a terra, plantar sementes, regar, podar, capinar, limpar com enxada e colher frutos. Outras tarefas podem incluir um projeto de bioconstrução, como um banheiro seco ou uma estufa de bambu. Também há muitos projetos artísticos pela casa, pois queremos deixá-la colorida! Você aprenderá muito sobre permacultura, agrofloresta e bioconstrução. Será uma troca de habilidades, pois acreditamos que todos têm seus talentos/objetivos (ocultos, ainda não descobertos) na vida. Vamos trazer sintropia para esta experiência Workaway!

    We offer the possibility of camping (we have a tent, a mattress, and sheets) in a house that needs renovations. The house has a kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and plans for a dry toilet. There is also a beautiful garden with a charming sea of ​​lilies. One of the volunteer projects is the bioconstruction inside and around the house.
