    Description

    We, Tobias (36), Wiebke (33) and Malu(3months), are looking for people who want to join and help us with the work on our 4ha land.
    We live self-sustained with power from solar energy and water from our own spring. We have good internet but poor cellphone connection.
    Our land is 2 km away from the main road, reachable via an unsolid road. Preferably you are self sufficient and come with your own vehicle, but hitchhiking from the mainroad to Aljezur or Monchique is easy. In Aljezur there are busses going to Lagos and Lisbon.
    If you are open to every kind of task within the nature, within a beautiful surrounding and love to experience a natural and simple lifestyle, we are looking forward meeting you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our land is in the middle of nowhere between Aljezur and Marmelete. We have a unique view from our mountain. From here you even can see the ocean. Here you can expierence the very special and contrasting landscape of SW Portugal.
    We try to live a more simple life. At the same time we do a lot of things around and outside of our land. Wiebke is working as a physiotherapist and Tobias works as a carpenter and handyman.

    Accommodation

    You live in a caravan. There is a 1,30 m sized bed, so it is easy for couples or friends to sleep there. But we also have space for tents or your own van.
    No meals included, but we provide drinking water.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    If you join us, you would help us approx. 3 hours per day on five days a week.
    We provide a caravan with a terrace, small outdoor kitchen, bathroom with hot shower and composting toilet.


    In your free time, you can go hiking, explore the beautiful beaches (closest 25min driving), go surfing, explore the villages Aljezur, Monchique or go to Lagos.

    Just notice that we don't share our car. So if you come without a car or scooter you have to walk up to the mainroad and hitchhike to Aljezur or Marmelete. A bicycle is possible to use but as we live in the mountains an electric bike is recommended ;-)
