    =================
    We moved from Los Angeles to a lovely home in the Peneda-Gerês National Park in Northern Portugal. We will be doing many projects including gardening, attic insulation, and other remodeling-type projects. If you like to cook, and/or speak European Portuguese that would be a huge benefit!

    We are an American couple that has immigrated to Portugal - we are anarchists and not huge consumers. We are artists and my husband has a long history of and experience with social justice activism. There have been many wonderful stories passed between our workaway volunteers and ourselves that highlight our commonalities.
