  Description

  I live by myself in a village located in Minho region the north of Portugal. I have a full time cultural job and at the same time I keep the property as neat as possible reliying on biological principles. I am still learning eveyday as much as possible to manage a biological approach to the land and the animals. I grow chicken and i have 3 dogs and a cat.
  Also i enjoy learning about other cultures and I enjoy being around people who are also curious and eager to learn everyday.
  I would love to meet russian speaking folks, but foremost i appreciate calm, positive and helpfull people. I like to work in the garden, orchard and keep it tidy and in order, so help is well needed.
  I would host a person at a time. Couples are not excluded, though!
