  Description

  Hello everyone!
  
  Welcome to Happy Love House, creators, free thinkers, loving beings.
  Algarve - Portugal - Planet Earth - One.
  A new seed of Love and Consciousness is growing on this planet on this land ready to be shared. If you have your own seed active, you know the value of exchange and sharing.
  
  Now, after a first year full of activity setting up the bases (Water, electricity, internet, infrastructure to host volunteers and other people), I'm welcoming people to Collaborate / Share and enjoy a moment of Life together.
  
  You can also come If you have your own autonomy to sleep (van or caravan).
  
  Expected tasks will be:
  
  - Gardening. Removing brumble roots. Planting trees and flower plants.
  - Cleaning
  - creating nice and cozy spaces
  - taking care of social media.
  - creating Joy doing all these things together.
  
  Other tasks:
  - filling a swimming pond.
  - building a small Dome and shade areas.
  
  If you have an artistic approach would be lovely to create something here to make the space with a special character. (Painting, sculptures, decoration, handicraft, lightning, etc)
  
  Also if you have any skill you would like to share it's possible to make a meeting or workshop with people in the area.
  
  Right now there aren't many people and social life happening. It's more to take it as a retreat or to have an on line work with plenty of time for yourself.
  I need independent people who are mature, enjoy alone time, and entertain themselves in their free time. We can check the vibe with a video call.
  
  There are many activities happening in the area, most of them at a short drive distance. You have the flexibility in your working hours to enjoy them, if you have your own mobility it would give you the freedom to come and go whenever you want.
  
  Welcome to visit for a day/night to know about the project if you are around the area.
  
  About the exchange:
  The stay is included in a caravan but not the food. You have your own fully equipped outdoor kitchen ✨
  A couple of working hours a day is the expected exchange.
  I’m flexible with tasks and skills, not necessarily a schedule monday-friday.
  I believe and care that the right balance between what each of us give and receive is important to have a fulfilling experience. To me it is very important to have a good vibe between everyone and that anyone spending some time here feels comfortable.
  
  If you have specific construction skills we can discuss a different exchange arrangement.
  
  About the lenght of the stay I consider 2 weeks as a base, anyway shorter or longer time is possible.
  
  About the place:
  Algarve, between Monchique and Portimao. In a quiet area surrounded by orange and lemon trees
  The project is to create in the next future a small community based on holistic healing therapies and permaculture.
  A land of 2 Ha, with a little hill that creates areas with different atmospheres.
  The construction of the main house ( it was a ruin built with soil thick walls) is in progress.
  There is already electricity, water and good internet.
  Bus stop at walking distance, 5km through internal car route. Beaches in 20 minutes drive.
  Occasionally a ride to the city of Portimāo (15min) or Monchique (15min) are offered as I go eventually to do errands, we can check availability day by day.
  A place without political ideologies, and based on Love and mutual respect.
  A place where synergies provide good energy.
  
  General tasks:
  
  Outdoor tasks: Build shade structures, create an edible garden, planting trees, pruning, create a food forest following permaculture principles. Help with Plastering, recycle furniture. Natural Building.
  
  Handy people and basic knowledge about electricity, carpentry, construction is also appreciated
  
  Cultural Exchange: My neighbours are portuguese with a rural way of living. They have nice dogs, cats, chickens and ducks. They are very open and enjoy sharing time with me and people who come to visit.
  
  About the Host:
  I'm Martin, I define myself as an explorer of Life.
  I traveled around the world and I enjoy cultural exchange.
  I’ve made many changes in my life, arriving at this moment to create this project according to my values and shared with others to continue enriching our lives.
  I work with holistic therapies.
  I enjoy fermented food and you can learn about kombucha, Chucrut or create together many other healthy fermented foods.
  I speak fluent Spanish, English and French, and basic Portuguese and Italian.
