    Description

    After travelling a lot we decide in 2019 to buy a land in "Ilha de boipeba",an island
    not too far from Salvador da Bahia, in Brazil.

    Our place is in the middle of nature but only 35min walking from the beach and 15min walking from the village of Boipeba,

    In 2023 we end build an eco sustainable house using traditional techniques and using most of the material from the island itself.

    There still lot of help needed for:
    -build 2nd floor of thr main house
    -build a warehouse
    -build smaller chalet
    -build ceramics atelier
    -take care of the land around the house( more or less 2500m) by planting tree and vegetables using permaculture approach.
    -take care of our little child of almost 2 years
    -more idea/project that will comes up in our mind

    Our non standard and open family:
    -Ricardo (parents)
    -Luana (parents)
    -Val (parents)
    -Kawà (almost 2 years old child)
    -Sani ( 35kg dog)
