  Description

  I am a woman who loves life and nature. Since 4 years I have been living in the Algarve region of Portugal which has been an amazing experience, a lot of connection with nature and magical people.
  At the moment I am developing a sustainable food garden and also an space for animals to live in nature and just be and enjoy their lives and share with humans, Yes I love animals.
  I live with 3 cats and 3 dogs in my house, also at the garden there are 8 chickens and more animals like donkeys to come!
  
  i love to meet people that think out of the box, that are inspired in life and open to share different ideas and be in harmony, I am very open to share and learn from everyone!
  
  The project is about a 3000 square meter garden located in the village of FIgueira. The garden is 10 min walk from the beautiful beaches and natural areas, and 5 min walk to the village.
  the closest ATM is located in Budens which is a 20 min walk or 2 min by bus or car.
  You will be staying at the garden, which has a house with one room where can fit up to two people, it has its own living room and kitchen with fridge, electricity and water, and also its own shower and dry toilet.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Travellers could have a cultural interaction with the Portuguese culture, and also a great opportunity to enjoy and be deeply connected with nature.
  I personally love to do different activities and visit places so you could join me in the walks with the dogs and get to know great places, I speak German, English, Italian and Portuguese.
  There are many surfing spots in the area, beautiful wild beaches and mountains to go for walks, and also a very open international community since there is people from many places of the world living or staying temporary here.
  
  And the weather, here in the Portuguese region of Algarve we have the warmest weather of all Europe!
