Description
We are living in Portugal, on the Costa de Caparica, 15 km from Lisbon. We are teachers (of classics/theater and mathematics - the house is full of books!) and I am a director of a bilingual theater association (1901 law) which promotes with theater and art the practice of French in a Portuguese environment.
We take care of our guests by sharing a very strong belief in the richness of multiculturalism and by realizing that community opens horizons!
We are lucky to live in an exceptional environment, 5 minutes by car from the first beach, Praia da Mata in a country where the life is good. Our garden has many fruit trees that delight family and friends.
Bonjour! Bom dia !
Nous vivons au Portugal, sur la Costa de Caparica, à 15 kms de Lisbonne. Nous sommes professeurs (de lettres classiques/théâtre et de mathématiques - la maison regorge de livres!)avec une petite fille de 2 ans et deux adorables teckels. Je dirige ici une association (loi 1901) de théâtre bilingue Theatralis qui promeut la pratique du français à travers les arts francophones en milieu portugais.
Nous prenons soin de nos invités en partageant une croyance très forte quant à la richesse du multiculturel et en réalisant que la communauté ouvre des horizons!
Nous avons la chance de vivre dans un environnement exceptionnel, à 5 minutes en voiture de la première plage, praia da Mata dans un pays où il faut bon vivre. Notre jardin possède de nombreux arbres fruitiers qui régalent la famille et les copains.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
An experience at home will be very enriching for you and for us! It could be an opportunity to visit Lisbon and its surroundings, participate in Theatralis' associative life and meet the team, the association's volunteers and participants! Practice theater in French and Portuguese (go there too! we have partnerships with theaters), support the youngest (we have workshops from 5 years old to adults!). So if you also want an artistic multicultural experience, everything is possible here!
At home, we talk, laugh a lot (we have a little girl of 2 and a half), share ideas, read and meet friends.
And don't forget the surf?! The most beautiful spots are nearby and we will be delighted to help you discover the Arrabida natural park.
We have an independent space under the house which will give you more freedom.
Une expérience à la maison sera très enrichissante pour vous et pour nous ! Cela peut être l'occasion de visiter Lisbonne et ses alentours, participer à la vie associative de Theatralis et rencontrer l'équipe, mais aussi les bénévoles de l'association et les participants ! Faire du théâtre en français et en portugais (y aller aussi ! car nous avons des partenariats avec plusieurs théâtres) avec les plus jeunes (nous avons des ateliers de 5 ans à l'âge adulte!). Ainsi si vous souhaitez aussi une expérience multiculturel artistique, tout est possible !
A la maison, nous discutons, rions beaucoup (nous avons une petite fille de 2 ans et demi), échangeons, lisons et recevons les amis.
Et pourquoi pas faire un peu de surf ?! Les plus beaux spots sont tout à côté et nous serons ravis de vous faire découvrir aussi le parc naturel d'Arrabida. Nous avons un espace sous la maison indépendant qui vous donnera davantage de libertés.

Help
We are renovating the house and we need help with painting, gardening, planting. Its not a big project. 3hours per day during one week will be enough to optimize the space (around 200 m2). We can do tasks together, we love to participate and share experiences !

Accommodation
We have a large house with an outbuilding in which you can sleep (double bed with sheets and towels), enter and leave as you wish with complete freedom.
This work space contains fridge, toilet, storage. For showers, it will be in the house. We provide the food (mainly made using products from an excellent Quinta next to the house). You could eat with us or without us, as you wish :), in a desire to respect everyone's wish.
Nous avons une grande maison avec une dépendance dans laquelle vous pourrez dormir (lit deux places), entrer et sortir comme vous le souhaitez en toute liberté. Cet espace de travail contient frigo, toilettes, rangements. Pour les douches, ce sera dans la maison. Nous fournissons la nourriture (essentiellement faite grâce aux produits issus d'une excellente quinta tout à côté de la maison), draps, serviettes. Vous pourrez manger avec nous ou sans nous, à votre guise, dans une volonté de respecter les envies de chacun.
For the wifi, its really good here and you can use as you want.
What else ...
Transport is omnipresent here (mainly buses that connect our city in 30 minutes to Lisbon). We also often go to the train station and so we can drop you off there. The only important thing for us is a relative calm because we have our little girl who is still young and takes naps and sleeps (finally!) through the night.
Les transports sont omniprésents ici (essentiellement bus qui relie notre ville en 30 minutes pour Lisbonne). Nous allons souvent aussi à la gare et donc nous pouvons vous y déposer.
La simple chose importante pour nous est un relatif calme car nous avons notre petite fille encore jeune qui fait des siestes et des nuits (enfin!)complètes.

From the start, communication was responsive and clear. I am so grateful that my first Workaway experience was with them. I ate lemons and oranges from the tree in their garden. I did painting (on metal) and fig tree-pruning. I listened to podcasts (and a book) while I worked independently. A… read more
