Description
Hi, new host here hoping to find a decent workawayer for my first time! I'm James, I am 40 years old. I am an English man living in Central Portugal. I have been living here for about 6 years now. I live by myself with my 10 cats and now up to 5 hedgehogs
15 years ago I was a Workaway-er myself. I did Workaway in Andalusia and Portugal. I enjoyed Portugal so much, that I moved here 10 years later.
Im located on the edge of a small village, near Oliveira do Hospital. I live in a yurt and/or a caravan, depending on the time of the year.
I have solar electricity and the water comes from the mine
If you have any questions please drop me a message!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers experience living in Central Portugal and have the opportunity to discover this beautiful region. It's a chance to learn about the small village life. You can learn the Portuguese language by talking to my lovely neighbours and be emerged in the culture of a small village. You can learn a lot about living off grid and the challenges that it can bring.
Help
Around the land I need help with weeding, strimming and planting so you'll need to get your hands dirty!

I'm not good at cooking vegetarian food but I am always willing to learn

Accommodation
When you come and stay with me, you will probably be in the yurt if not there is a spare caravan or I have a lotus belle tent that can be set up anywhere on the land. In the yurt there is a double bed with lighting . Charging your mobile phone will be possible here. If you want to cook for yourself, you will have to share the kitchen
What else ...
I am looking for hard working people that are very motivated to help me around the land.
In your spare time you can walk around the village or just relax it's village life here so don't expect lots of hustle and bustle just the sounds of nature.
