Description
Hello! My name is Elad. I have been living in Portugal for about 5 years now. I have been working on building three houses on my land for a little over three years now. This land is peaceful and quiet, in which usually only nature can be seen and heard. In the land there are two wells and a stream, olive trees, vines, fruit trees, and more...
I am in advanced stages of building 3 houses - two wooden cabins and one large stone house - on this land, and taking care of a garden.
Outside of working I enjoy going for walks, swimming in the natural pool nearby, meditating, playing guitar, singing, salsa, and yoga. I used to be an acroyoga teacher and still enjoy teaching and practicing and would love to share all of these hobbies with people from many different walks of life.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying in nature is teaching me about myself, the birds and other animals, about gardening and building. You might find it's similar for you as well.
Help
I am looking for volunteers who have experience in gardening and/or carpentry and are able to jump in when help is needed. I am interested in people who are responsible for their own mess and are able to pick up on things that need to be done without me having to tell you (ex: dishes, cleaning, keeping things tidy, etc.).
You can help with the garden, with gathering wood for fire, building the cabin, preparing food and more. If you have a farm related talent or idea for a project I'll be happy to discuss it.

Accommodation
-There are two rooms available for volunteers, both in the wooden cabins.
The first one is in the larger wooden cabin. There are two private bedrooms in this cabin, one of them is mine, the other could be yours for some time! This cabin has a full kitchen, fireplace, running water, electricity, and a hot shower.
The second room is in the smaller wooden cabin about ___ meters from the other, and it offers a bit more privacy. You would be the only one living in this cabin. You have access to your own shower behind the cabin under an olive tree. There is not a kitchen in this cabin and currently no running water inside. There is running water right outside though.
-There are 2 showers under olive trees with privacy curtains. It is a beautiful experience to shower under an olive tree. You should come and try it.
-There is a compost toilet.
-There is an outside kitchen and an inside kitchen.
-I will buy groceries. I eat keto but can buy groceries for all diets. Regarding our meals, some nights we can eat dinner together, other nights we can eat separately i.e., do not rely on me to make all the meals.
What else ...
The stream in the land connects to a river a few hundred meters from the land. You/We can go for nice walks, drive to beautiful lakes, go kayaking, etc. There's café and a grocery store in the nearby village, a big supermarket 20 minutes driving and a city 40 minutes driving.
