Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living in a beautiful rural area close to the sea there are endless possibilities to hike, swim, snorkel, surf , and weather permitting sail. Being experienced house and furniture builders there will be ample opportunity to learn or share DIY skills . Learn about the amazing Azorean culture and history.

What else ...
There is a bus service but hitch hiking is popular . Local village is a 30 minute walk and the natural swimming pool and sea is about the same distance .You can travel with us when we visit the town. .Our philosophy is generally work hard play hard ( we love to get out on the ocean ) !! However there has to be room for flexibility around the changeable Azorean weather !!
