Description
Hi I am a London Irish Artist who recently moved from London to East Algarve.. Whilst travelling in my Camper I came across Olháo in East Algarve and fell in love with the Old Town & its people. I am renovating my home and I am looking for a single person who is proficient in building jobs/DIY. I will be doing extensive house painting in the next few weeks. I can host someone for approximately a week in exchange for 4/5 hours a day work & a dog walk.
My home is in the Old Town a walk to the ferry, which goes to the island where you find the most beautiful beaches. There are many beautiful hiking paths, island beaches, river beaches, ria formosa natural park and other places of interest nearby.
My place has a separate space for someone to stay with your own room and a share bathroom & on roof a kitchenette with a kettle, microwave & fridge.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This area of Portugal is unique. I live near the Ria Formosa Natural Park so its a fabulous are for bird watchers. The town is a working town and quite traditional in comparison to West Algarve. It's a great place to be based if you wish to be emerged in the local culture. I can a arrange for you to do tours in the local Olive farm and there's opportunity to go out boating and or do water sports such as paddle boarding, kayaking where I can bring you to areas known to have sea creatures such as sea horses.
