    Description

    I am Akash, a 35-year-old man originally from India, having spent over a decade working as a software engineer in the Netherlands and Ireland. Last year, I decided to explore sustainable living by starting an organic farm in the Algarve, Portugal.

    I’ve bought a spacious 4-bedroom house just a short distance from the town center and the beach. You'll have your own private room and bathroom, with plenty of space to enjoy your time here. The house is surrounded by nature, offering a peaceful environment while being conveniently close to the local amenities and coastal beauty of the Algarve. In your free time, you can enjoy the beautiful beaches, take walks in nature, or relax at home with a peaceful view.

    I am non-smoker, and if you smoke, I kindly ask that it be done outside.

    I’m looking forward to sharing this experience with like-minded people who appreciate nature, good food, and a quieter way of life in a wonderful part of the world. If you're someone with a positive attitude, ready to pitch in and enjoy a simple, fulfilling life, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
