Description
I'm Shanti and I live in a renovated farm house in about 1 hectare of land close to the village of Monchique in southern Portugal, Algarve. The village is just a 5 minutes walk through an oak tree pathway. My land is filled with fruit trees and has a view over the village. I have two water tanks where you can freshen up/plunge during the warm Algarve days. The house has several rooms and even a small apartment with private bathroom, living room and kitchen (with a separate private entrance from the main house). I am an animal lover and have 5 dogs and 3 cats that have been rescued.I am a pilates instructor and have moved back to Monchique (where I grew up) about 3 years ago as I enjoy living in the countryside. I need help maintaining the land and I plan to start a small vegetable garden.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This is a beautiful farm amidst nature but just a 5 minutes walking distance from the village of Monchique, so you don't have to have a car and can walk to the village where you find all amenities. There's beautiful walking trails and the beach is reachable by bus (30 minutes bus drive from Monchique). It's a place to be in touch with nature and with yourself.
Help
Help maintain the garden, watering, weeding and small veggie garden. Also help with agricultural terrace and stone pathways.
