  Description

  We live here between aljezur and marmelete in the outback.
  in a kind of community
  We started the community four years ago .
  The land is 37hectars big with three houses ,The houses need to be renovated,a  small river and a small lake!
  As the land is so big ,each of us has his own place so its more a kind of neighborhood community.
  we bought the land together as a association.  I  live on my place ,in the moment in  caravans and a Hut.
  I am in the process to Build a simple kitchen .
  I have a small solar system and running water that comes out of a deposit, drinking water i have to get by car from a fountain.
  There is a warm shower on the land, but not yet on my place.
  I don't have a 100% regular daily routine
  From Friday - Monday my to kids(my son 13years,my daughter 8years)are with me so at this time its more family life ,homeschooling,cooking, music, playing!
  The other days they are in a school project with the mother,
  this days are my working days ,so i prefer to work more on this days then on the other days.
  
  About my self ,first thing i love rockclimbing or sportclimbing so if you are interested to learn climbing you are very welcome or even better you climb already then we can climb together, if both not also good we find somthing else to do !-)
  I like adventures in general like
  ,to take a tour with the canoe on the river,lake ,or the sea ,what i haven't done yet.
  To go for a hike in beautiful nature and so on.
  Besides that i like yoga,pilates,sports, reading ,playing games,and to talk about life,
  And from time to time a good party!
  And many mor things!

  Warm shower is available but you need to walk 5 minutes to it .
  Food we will make as needed, but usually i have three meals a day.
  Most likely its healthy vegetarian food my favorite is curry or other asian food but iam quite open to most food.
