    Description

    Heya 🙃
    I live in Cairns, Australia. Originally from Portugal. I've done workaway in multiple places but it's my first time hosting!

    I recently bought a house in the city and I'm trying to turn it into a little urban food forest, permaculture garden and the dreamiest sluttiest tropical cottage core home around.

    And I need help and experienced people with it 😊

    It's a mostly vegan household.
    Open minded people are ESSENTIAL. No smoking inside, no big parties house and would love like-minded people around.
    I might or might not have foster dogs around at the time.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    All my friends are from different places, working different jobs. We are a very wholesome open minded group of adults. We enjoy meals together , camping, festivals, dancing, arts n crafts afternoons, etc. I would love to have someone living here that ressonates with all that 🌈

    Open minded, queer friendly people are ESSENTIAL. ( I give erotic massages from the house and expect quiet and/or free house while it's happening. - need to be open minded, Only a couple hours a day)

    I would love to have people willing to help 2 hours a day in exchange for accommodation and for them to have time to explore the area.
    The main jobs are alway weeding, mulching, mowing the lawn, prunning trees, building or fixing paths... but also planting new stuff, organizing the garden and the sheds, basically anything and everything that a garden needs.

    Some indoor help would be appreciated too, like cleaning walls (in the tropics things get moldy quickly), fermenting food and drinks, cooking, general cleaning, help with decorating, organizing, painting, etc...

    If you are experienced I would LOVE if you can:
    . Help me organise the garden (knowing where to plant what, prunning, companion planting, building soil, worm farming, composting, etc)
    . Someone experienced in building NATURAL PONDS.
    . Building a deck/gazebo
    . Fixing gutters (helping decide how to collect rain water and distribute it)
