  Description

  🌱🚨🌱!!! VERY INTERESTED in someone to help us in our certified organic garden!!!! reach us out to talk 🤗
  
  Hi everyone, we are a couple with a little baby, living in Lousã, central Portugal.
  - 👩🏻‍🎨 Romane 🎨: French, she's the artistic mind of the family and likes to create and plan new projects.
  - 💪🏻 Ricardo🌱: Portuguese, loves sports and taking care of our organic garden, he is more the "hands" of our family project.
  - 🌼Flor 💖 : Our 1yo baby, she is the magic in between us.
  
  We both used to travel the world, backpacking, exploring and sharing new experiences. Now comes our time to become a host 🤗
  
  We are living in little stone house in the mountains of Serra da Lousã, and we are building an agrotouristic space for stay and workshops, located 20 min walking down the hill. We would love to receive some help and share a bit of our lifestyle, the same way we did travel around the world 🌎💚
  
  We will need some help in our organic garden (maintenance, pruning, seeding, planting, weeding), maybe some craft projects. If you think you do have a specific skill to bring to our project, please you are welcome! We already received help from specialists in video making, organic gardening and building. Please don't hesitate to enter in contact with us to share and talk about other opportunities ✨
  
  We hope to see you soon and create together 😎

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We both speak fluently English, Portuguese and Spanish. Romane also speaks French. We love to share stories and experiences during our communal times. 🗣️😁
  We don't have TV but we have WiFi. We like to listen music, to play boardgames, to read, to go for walks, to visit some areas in the surroundings, and to do some sports. Ricardo likes to ride bicycle and run 🚴🏼‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️, Romane likes to swim and hike 🏊🏻‍♀️. You are welcome to join us at our trainings!
  Flor is a little baby that likes to meet new people, to discover new places, and to play and laugh 🙈🙉💜😹😻

  Help

  - Gardening (maintenance, pruning, seeding, planting, weeding) 🌱
  - Crafts (tawashi sponge, embroidery, sewing...) 👩🏻‍🎨
  - Some housekeeping 🧹🧽🧺
  Half of the tasks are to do together. Ricardo is working in an other place, and Romane is taking care of Flor, that's why some of the tasks might be done by yourself. 💪🏻 But depending on your schedule and the time of the year, we can manage to do most of them together 😉

  Accommodation

  We offer a private room with a double bed and a private bathroom. Our accommodation is quite simple, we live in a stone house in Serra da Lousã. 13min by car from the town center. 😌
  
  Our place is very peaceful, hidden on top of the clouds and at the feet of many trails access in the forest ☺️ We will share the kitchen, but we will be eating together so no worries. The meals are mainly vegetarian, and sometimes with a bit of fish. We use mostly our seasonal veggies from our organic garden. 🏡🍅🥒🫑🍆🥔🌰 🌳🏞️You can buy any extra that we don't provide, but we please ask you to respect that there's no meat in our house.
  
  We will share the meals with you 😋We both like to cook, and we love to discover new flavours. You will be welcome to cook if you want! We mainly eat vegetarian, sometimes some fish, but we can adapt our diet if you don't eat any fish. The only exception is that there's no meat in our home and we will ask you to please respect our lifestyle. 😌
