Help with small renovations & gardening in Vale de Prazeres, Portugal

Details

• 

  Description

  I've just bought a small house with a little garden near Fundão, at the foot of the Gardunha mountains .
  For the next couple of months I'll be renovating the house & creating a mini lush jungle in the garden.
  
  The household is drug free and vegetarian.
  
  You can stay in the living room (mattress or sofa bed), or in a tent outside (small mattress & covers provided).
  My two lovely cats will be hanging around 24/7, so respect and love for animals (and tolerance for cat hair!) are required.
  
  ➡️ Please personalise your requests & let me know why it'd be interesting for you to come stay 🌻

  I've lived and travelled in many countries, and I come from "Couchsurfing culture", which means that hospitality and multiculturality are the base of living for me.
  The house is located close the wonderful Serra de Estrela, and not far from historical villages like Monsanto and Idanha-a-Velha.

  This host offers a language exchange
  I'd love to be around some Portuguese speaker to improve my language skills. I've taught languages for 15 years, so I'll be happy to help with any language I speak.

  What else ...

  There is a train station 20 minutes walking and a bus stop right by the house. You can get to cafés and mini markets on foot.
  Due to the limited amount of work requested, I'll only be providing food when cat sitting is required.
