    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Sharing our beautiful space with like minded people that appreciate nature & learning about others. I’m a vegan chef and have got myself back to wellness after having Rheumatoid Arthritis and being in a wheelchair. I am passionate about sharing how we can be our best self through nutrition. I’m native English and can help teach my language. We are partly off grid and would like to teach how to improve the environment through our knowledge. Our animals are all rescued and will be very much of the experience at our small holding. The Portuguese culture is extremely interesting, our son if fluent in Portuguese and will share his experiences growing up in Portugal he is now 20yrs old. We will look after you very well, our past volunteers have loved it here.
