    Description

    I´m living with my three horses on a cozy. little land situated in a piece of forest in central Portugal. I enjoy a simple lifestyle here with fresh air, clean water, the sound of birds and a beautiful view. I live in a Mongolian yurt.
    I´m a dutch woman, lived 14 years in the Alpujarras in Spain and moved three years ago to Portugal. I speak Dutch, English, Spanish and now learning Portuguese.
    Just finished putting up a Mongolian yurt, built a kitchen and bathroom, planted fruit trees, making a fence and a shelter for the horses and a hay storage. But there is still more to do and to develop and I can use some extra hands and skills.
    My next projects are building a wooden shelter, maintaining the garden, seeding more flowers and trees, some clearing of the land and some creating work like painting designs and making mosaics.
    It´s a peaceful environment where you can work in your own tempo and helping to create more beauty.
    I play guitar and I love to sing bhajans and other songs. And I like to sit around the fire. Further I am enjoying the company of my three horses. It´s a very good place for yoga, meditations, making beautiful hikes or biking.

    Beautiful environment, you can make nice walks and I also have a mountain bike that you can use. Also, if you like you can learn here more about horses. Furthermore I speak well English, Dutch, Spanish and a bit of Portuguese. So you can improve your languages with me.
    I also love singing and music and I make healthy, mostly organic meals with local ingredients. Further it´s a good place for meditation and yoga, reading and writing.
