    OFFER - PORTUGAL ALGARVE: starting immediately

    Hello everyone! We’re looking for some support on our cozy off-grid property located between the south and west coasts of Portugal. Tasks: working with the horses ( i have some rescue horses what I would need help with), gardening, diy, building, cleaning up, painting, p repairing for winter, recycling, diy.

    Working hours are between 10 and 20 hours per week, and you’re free to decide when to work your hours.
    We have limited space (small property). A cat and 2 dogs live with us on the property.


    We offer you a beautiful environment with some extra perks: you’re welcome to use our bike, longboard, surfboard, and stand-up paddleboard! It’s the perfect opportunity to combine work and leisure, as beaches and surf spots are nearby (5 min by car, 15 min by bike, 30 min walk).

    I can not offer any food or meals you have to take care of yourself.
    If you’re interested, please get in touch. We’re excited to meet you!

    Accommodation would be my old Campervan. (Not luxurious)

    Katha ✨

    The village, shops, and the beach are all very close. We’re located near Sagres/Vila do Bispo.

    *Mechanical knowledge is always needed too.
