    Hello everybody,

    So my place is a quiet place in a wild natural environment .

    For summer 24 most of the work will be mud building and gardening.
    besides that there's also light forestry , which includes chopi'dropi, shredding branches..
    and building dry stone terraces.

    There's also an option to work in our nursery, which is about 2km from my place.

    Im easy going and people can do what they are good at for a part of the time... sometimes some things just have to be done.
    I got a fully equipped caravan with an outdoor kitchen, dry toilet and a hang bucket shower.

    The place is for people who enjoy silence and know how to be alone.. some night we go out to meet with the neighbors and play music, but some nights can be very quiet.
    If a party place full of other volunteers is what you're looking for- this is probably NOT the place for you.

    I can teach how to approach trees, how to listen to their needs and how to give them what they ask ;)
    And Ecological approach to land and life.

    Feel free to contact and ask me about anything

    * Rainbow friendly

    * Vegetarian

    All the best

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange - could pretty much be anything.
    We play alot of music, and we are people from all over the world in the area.. so if culture is your cup of tea - there is alot of it around here.
    The land is located on the rota Vicentina, and inside the natural park of the costa Vicentina. Unique nature and beautiful walking tracks.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Have a caravan and a mud igloo on the land..

    About foods- we can decide together what works best for us - as for me normally during the summer i mostly eat fruit and my big meal would be only after sunset - so maybe it dosent work the same for anybody. Im a vegetarian - and as i dont have a problem if someone chooses to eat meat- if you are into bbq-ing every other meal - maybe better find another place.

  • What else ...

    What else ...
