Description
We are a Portuguese-American family of 3. We have a three-year-old son, two dogs and three cats. We have been in our home in Central Portugal for two years, and we are slowly working on creating a self-sustaining garden, food forest and eco-friendly projects. Our home is at the end of a peaceful village, near a very clean little river. We are connected to the mains so we have access to electricity, hot water and internet.

We are particularly looking for people who can come and partner with us on our projects and we can all learn from each other. We would love to welcome individuals, couples and families with experience in gardening, permaculture, carpentry, building skills, and of course, must be good with children.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Portuguese: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
We are a Portuguese-English couple and we are raising our son to speak both languages. I am still learning Portuguese, so English is the more commonly spoken language in the house, but we are happy to learn what we can of new languages too. We encourage everyone who speaks other languages to speak freely with our son in their native tongue to expose him to new rhythms and sounds.
Accommodation
We have a caravan with two full-sized beds.
We also have space on our land for people to bring their vans, campervans or tents.
The shower is in our home. We are happy to let you use our kitchen and will share at least one home-cooked meal together, although we would ask that all meals cooked in our kitchen are vegan. We can also offer you access to our wifi.
What else ...
Our village is very peaceful and quiet with nice views. We would be happy to help arrange trips to some local spots, including some nice river beaches. We are very open and friendly people and we are looking to meet some like-minded individuals who can collaborate with us on improving our home and land.
