Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a beautiful remote abandoned village in south of Galicia, bordering Portugal. hikes and walks in the area are amazing, the local people (our neighbours) are inviting and friendly. you can experience here gallego farm life culture, with many aspects of the culture unchanged for as long as remembered. we enjoy exchanging and enriching knowledge from different places about foresting, gardening, biodiversity, sintropical agroforestry, eco building and carpentry, mycology or whatever yet experienced!

Help
Since we extended our family and had a baby, we find ourselves with a lot of motivation for our projects but less energy. We would love to host travellers that can give us a little push with our projects. We need help planting trees and taking care of the forest, gardening, logging, building, propagating, forest managing, picking our produce, spending time with our son Lev and mainly just taking care of our land.
living in the yurt and keeping it dry and warm it's a very important task in itself.
