Description
We’re Alex and Derek a gay couple who recently bought a house with some gardens in Almada, just across the river from Lisbon. We moved here from the USA two years ago.
We bought our home in August 2024 and are now working on some improvements, both inside and in the garden. We could use some help with painting and yard tasks. We both speak English and are learning Portuguese, so we’d love to connect and be with someone who can help out. -
