Details
Description
Hi, I'm Alex. I got this 7.2 hektar farm 20min from the sea in Alentejo Portugal (near Santiago Do Cacém). The house is finished now but the land still could use more bio diversity and more trees. I like to work slowly, but steadily and enjoy the space.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can say that over the years I have started to understand a thing or two about gardening . If you are interested, Im happy to share my knowledge about Martial Arts and we can go surfing together :) I also enjoy fine cuisine and philosophical exchanges. I don't use mind altering substances like alcohol, tabaco, etc.
Help
I enjoy to work slowly and do the things correctly. This includes researching and planing before action. The type of help I need is mostly outdoors though. Planting new trees, transplanting young trees, pruning (depending on the season), harvest and processing. Creating stuff from wood from time to time can be another task.

If you can teach me a bit of Portuguese it would be great, but thats really not a must.
Accommodation
You will have your own space with a king size bed. For now its an open space, but I will install a dry wall soon. In case, this is not an option for you, a big private tent can be installed for your convenience. The kitchen is big, spacious and pretty versatile. It's a good space to sit and cook together. I cook/eat mostly vegetarian and keto. We cook together of separately in the big community kitchen in my house.
What else ...
Since this place is rural, it would be good if you had your own car, but its not an absolute must. About the house: I'm a very clean person and I appreciate it when this is respected.
