    Description

    Ia ora na everyone! 🌿

    My name is Nico, after ten years as a chef mainly abroad, I decided 4 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 and settled in Vairao very close to Teahupoo. The spot is by the river and there is access to the sea 2 min walk for amazing sunset.
    I created a little edible flowers production for chefs here in Tahiti ( IG, FB : umatatea.farm ) and also I try to plant as much as possible my own food.
    I offer a room with dry toilet and cold shower as well as vegetarian meals against 4 to 5 hours of work per day, 5 days a week. there is also wifi available.

    The work is rather physical 💪🏽 it is mainly done in the garden with me: preparation of new crop areas, construction of support, maintenance of the banana plantation, clearing the edge of the river, sowing, planting... I am inspired by permaculture and syntropic agriculture.

    I usually offer 2 week periods.

    If you are interested do not hesitate to write me and ask me questions if you have any.
    Glad to get to know and welcome you!

    See you soon 🤙🏽

    Nico 🙂
