    Description

    Hello!!

    I (Pedro) was a workaway volunteer for over 5 years around the world and now it's time to experience the other side. Now I'm in charge of the propertie where we offer the volunteer work and run the bussiness.

    Kadigia is a physical education professional, yoga and pilates instructor, as well as my life partner. She is the one who runs the business with me, especially the Natural Fit studio.

    We are a plural business at the beginning of our journey: Restaurant, camping, pilates, yoga and practical exercise center, on the same property. We recently start our permaculture garden, a grow house and a camping site that is on a early stage and this is the main points that we need help.

    Olá!!

    Eu (Pedro) fui voluntário em workaway por mais de 5 anos ao redor do mundo e agora é hora de vivenciar o outro lado disso. Eu sou o responsavel pela propriedade onde oferecemos os trabalhos voluntarios.

    Kadigia, é profissional de educação física, instrutora de yoga e pilates, além de ser minha parceira na vida. É ela quem dirige o negócio comigo, principalmente o estúdio Natural Fit.

    Somos um negócio plural no início da nossa jornada: Restaurante, camping, pilates, centro de yoga e exercícios práticos, na mesma propriedade. Iniciámos recentemente a nossa horta de permacultura, uma casa de cultivo e um parque de campismo que está numa fase inicial e estes são os principais pontos que precisamos de ajuda.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    First of all, the Portuguese language. We don't have many people here who speak english, so it's a good opportunity to have a real, deep immersion in the regional language and culture.

    For gardening it's an opportunity to put into practice everything you've learned or want to try about planting, flowers and vegetables. We're always open to trying out good ideas.

    Overall, for people who like Brazilian culture or want to learn about it. We have lots of waterfalls to visit, good food and nice people who don't normally have the chance to meet foreigners.

    Also, the permaculture garden, the grow house and the camping area are in an early phase, so you have the chance to put your "touch" on it. If you're the kind of person who likes to leave your input about the places you stay, this is the place.

    _____________

    Praticar e aprender sobre Jardinagem: plantação, flores, horticultura e agrofloresta. Estamos sempre abertos para experimentar boas ideias.

    Temos muitas cachoeiras para visitar, boa comida e gente simpática que normalmente não tem a oportunidade de conhecer viajantes que optam por esse estilo de vigem.

    Além disso, a horta, o viveiro e a area de camping estão em fase inicial, então você tem a chance de dar o seu “toque” neles. Se você é o tipo de pessoa que gosta de deixar sua contribuição nos lugares onde se hospeda, aqui é o lugar.
