Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Expect to learn Permaculture by experiencing it on our land. We live in the portuguese campo, surrounded by fields owned by the locals, who still live by their culture and tradition. Its interesting !!Expect to get better in speaking english, german, africans as we can speak these languages fluently. Practice a language we speak, or brush up your portuguese with the locals.
Get immersed into Permaculture, food preserving.

You can pitch up your tent on the property , we also have a big tent as well as plenty of blankets. Our tents sleeps two, Thai mattress and big enough to stand in.

We get our drinking water from a spring nearby.
The bakery delivers fresh rolls and bread on working days for breakfast, in the evening we usually cook together and do the dishes together.
Breakfast is available and each grabs or prepares it themselves when wanting to have breakfast. I prepare lunch and we do have a shared meal at the end of the day.
What else ...
We do live isolated. We have neighbours, yes. But its countryside. No public transport on weekends, no frequent public transport on weekdays.
On foot Podentes is reachable : it has a 1 woman small shop which is closed at noon and a café for drinks which only opens Sundays. Swimming Lake in biking distance- we have 1 old functioning bike.
Your own transport is a plus- supermarket towns take hours to reach on foot- 20 minutes by car.
Make sure you have your health insurance papers with you.
Portugal always needs a jacket at night a rain coat and gum boots are advisable.
