    ********WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE IN EARTHBAG/ADOBE/COB/NATURAL BUILDING FOR OUR UPCOMING PROJECT THIS SPRING !!!!!

    Hello, we are Kat (German), Andrea (Italian) and our dog Dao (Thai). We are situated in the beautiful region of Sintra in Portugal. Our small land is nestled among rolling fields just a short walk to the ocean, where you can find wild beaches and stunning cliffs overlooking the majestic Atlantic. Lisbon is a 40 minute drive away.

    Right now we are at the beginning stages of making our land functional, sustainable and of course enjoyable. The set up so far is basic: we have a dry toilet / hot shower house, a comfy kitchen/lounge tent, a caravan and plenty of sitting/eating/chilling situations dotted around the land. We also have a couple of chickens and started growing veggies and herbs.
    We have plans of creating a sustainable structured outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven next as well as continuing to shape the land regeneratively and sustainably but we need creative/skilled/motivated/positive hands and brains to help us with these next steps.
    it is essential that you have your own transport: come with your van, caravan or car (and camp).
    We are easy-going people who enjoy nature, learning, working, playing and good food!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We value the idea of sharing knowledge and experience, to create living areas from scratch, to work in balance with nature and to live communal. The skills and know-how that we have already gained (building small wooden structures/laying irrigation systems/building terraces/brick work/selective clearing of land/etc), we are happy to share.
