    Description

    we are a german couple in the age of 60iies, living in a small village in Portugal 75km south east of Porto in a beautiful environment. We have 1400m² of garden with different kind of fruits and vegetables. We have startet to cultivate our garden in a biological way (perma culture) 3 years ago and that is a never ending process. We are not the youngest and we like to have guests to share time with them and have also a helping hand mostly in the garden but sometimes also in the house. We are open to other cultures, have made social projects in africa for more then 10 years.

    We decided to live in Portugal after several ways as Pilgrims to Santiago de compostela. Who is thinking about going the Caminho once, can get any kind of help and we share our experiences and contacts. We have experiences in biological gardening, social projects in africa and healthy eating. My wife is ready to share a lot of knowledge for making healthy food (raw and cooked) . We are german nativ speakers and can help to learn or practice german language. We speak portugues (basic), english, and russian (only Wolfgang)
