Description
Currently it's just me and my mother living here, since November 2024, in what I describe as a Life dream come through.
We eat mainly raw lively fruits and vegetables. I love being creative, either cooking, doing construction, playing or giving mind/body workout classes.
The land has a lot of potential!
We are developing a Self Sustainable way of living on a lush tiny forest with a 1ha piece of land, close to Coimbra. The tasks may vary between creative projects, nurturing and preserving narure (external and internal ones).

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'll be sharing with you what "Time" allows us, depending also on the will and our individual availability. It may be from creative projects, to cooking, to nature nurturing, Portuguese history, languages, trips, perspectives of life, music, meditation, silence... Having presence, allowing space and being able to speak our respectful truth, I believe we'll feel the flow of this new relationship dynamic.
I love learning.
My mother tongue is Portuguese, but I also speak English, Spanish, French and I'm willing to learn more.
Around here there are fun nature activities, rivers, trekking trails and a growing international community.
There are some small stores and cafes 20min walking distance or 8min bike ride, for buying foods and day to day needs.

What else ...
In the surrounding area we live in, you can find natural swimming pools, rivers, water falls, hiking trails... old history monuments, nice cafes...
Close by there is an outdoor sport company called ExperTree, you can do some canoeing (although ideally you would rent a car or come with your own).
We're also 30min from Coimbra centre if you want other cultural and a different social interaction.
