  Description

  hello, hola, ola, I am Jessica, Yoga teacher, Spanish roots, born and raised in the Netherlands, living in the Algarve about 6yrs now, with my 5yr old son. We live on the countryside, in between hills, lots of almond, fig, olive and carob trees around. There are some really nice trails here for walking, running, biking. We are situated about 20km from Faro and the sea.
  
  I am looking for someone/couple/family with their own (camper)van which can be situated on the property next to my house. We would share bathroom and kitchen/living room.
  
  I could use some help with gardening (at the moment I have some raised beds which need attention), help with planting trees and help around the house. It would be great if you have some building/DIY experience, for example I would love to make an outdoor garbage recycling boxes w pellets, or making outdoor playground for kids. Of course I also would be very happy if you like to play with my son sometimes (he is very sociable and loves to climb trees, dance, sing, go to the skatepark).
  
  You can join my Yoga classes anytime, or we can practice together at home. I also like to go to Ecstatic Dance events. If we have a click then I also bring you along if you want :)
  
  My cupboards & fridge are always full of super healthy organic food to share :)
  
  I love workaway as its a great opportunity to meet new people and connect

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Cultural exchange: language exchanges, I can also tell you my experience with Portuguese culture so far, if you want you can join Yoga classes, or join me if I go to local farmers market, or when I go to Ecstatic Dance events. I also know how to make sauerkraut and my own body-creams. I also am passionate about Non Violent Communication (and give workshops), so if you want to know more about it, I happily share :)

  What else ...

  The nearest towns are Estoi and Sao Bras de Alportel. Estoi has a beautiful palace , and there are Roman ruins.
  Sao Bras is a bit bigger and has more to offer. Other places which are worth a visit are Loule, Olhao, Faro and Tavira. There are bus connections. I also can give you lifts whenever I go to town. I have bikes you can borrow. Or I can help with renting a car. There are also many walking, running, biking trails around my house.
