Description
Hi, we are Maura and Antonio. We live 4km from the beautiful city of Guimaraes in the North of Portugal. We recently moved into our new house which has a large garden and a bit of wild rocky land. We have lots of plans but not enough hours in the day to get around to doing everything. That's why we need you! Our grown-up children have flown the nest. I (Maura) work as an English teacher both online and in a local school, Antonio works online. We both love the outdoors, food, and good wine! We are easy-going and enjoy having people around.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I think it's an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to make the most of their time in Portugal. As both Portuguese and English are spoken, it's a way to improve both. We are learning about the garden, what works what doesn't, so can you!
