    Description

    ‘Ia ora na everyone! 🌿

    My name is Nico, after ten years as a chef mainly abroad, I decided 5 years ago to change my life to something more healthy/happy and I met permaculture.

    I traveled a lot doing volunteering in different farms, this allowed me to train myself and to be sure that I really wanted to do a similar project.

    I am now back home in Tahiti. I created a little edible flowers farm and sell it to chefs here in Tahiti🌼
    I also try to plant as much as possible my own happy food 🥭

    The place is in Vairao, 6km from Teahupoo. The spot is by the river and there is access to the sea 2 min walk for amazing sunset.

    You will have your own room with toilet and cold shower.
    Acces to the kitchen, food is not includ but i ‘ll give you some fruits when I have banana, papaya or mongo from the garden and show you things that you can pick as herbs and coconut.
    There is a little market close to the house and a bicycle you can use 🚲
    There is also the wifi available and washing machine.
    In exchange, i ask you 3 hours of help per day, 5 days a week.
    I live in an other house on the same land.

    The tasks is mainly done in the garden in autonomy or with me : weedin, preparation of new crop areas, construction of plant support, maintenance of the banana plantation, sowing, planting, picking, watering ... I am inspired by permaculture and syntropic agriculture and happy to share my knowledge if you like to. You don’t need any skills just motivation and love nature. 🌱

    Happy to know and welcome you !

    See you soon 🤙🏽

    Nico 🙂
