    Description

    Join in me at this lovely place between the ocean and the mountains.
    You could stay in the guest room of my house in exchange for some help. We can go surfing together, enjoy the sunset over the sea and eat some nice vegetarian food, while sharing stories.
    The house is located in a quiet area with a stunning ocean view. It's an older house with a garden, so there are always something that needs to be done. So if you enjoy nature, a cute doggo and helping a bit around the house, I think we could have a great time. : )
    I like doing yoga, gardening, hiking and trying to live a bit more sustainable every day.

    I'm German so I can't offer an authentic Portuguese experience, but I'm more than happy to show you what I discovered. :) If you enjoy surfing, we can go together. I like to meet new people and hear about their stories.

    Help

    This is an older house that still needs some tidying up.
    Trimming trees, weeding, mowing and just some general help to keep the garden under control. It's a bit wild and needs some attention, ideas and cleaning up.
    It would be great if you know how to use tools and we can figure out what projects we can start together.
    Some general help around and inside the house, would be awesome! :)

    You have your own room inside of my house and we share the bathroom and the rest of the house. We have a garden and a really nice view. :)
    I'm vegetarian and would not feel comfortable if you had to prepare meat in my kitchen. Vegan is no problem and I'm happy to share my favourite foods with you.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Getting around with public transport should be fine, but I never tried. I try to surf as often as possible, so you can always join for a session or just hang out at the beach. I can also drop you somewhere, if you want to get around and have no car. One part of the Caminho Santiago de Compostela runs next to the house and it a short walk to waterfalls and the mountains. I also like to get outside whenever possible and search some adventure or picknick.
    If we can find time, I'm happy to show you around and I'm sure we can find some nice spots for walks or go to the nearby waterfalls.
    Viana do Castelo is super close and a nice little town to discover. By car it's fast to go to the National Park or Spain.
