Description
I’m a watersport instructor spending my time between my farm, that needs a lot of care, and my watersport center. 1h distance between.
The help would mostly involve bungalow construction and gardening. There is always something to mend or need new constructions. In April, May and June there is a lot of tasks with fences and planting to prepare the garden for the summer. November its time to produce olive oil from ours trees. I grow a some vegetables and I try to be as eco as possible. I would like to do more permaculture gardening.
I'm also a traveller so I collect seeds and plants to introduce on my lands.
I have some rooms but I prefer if you bring your camper van or tent.

Two one bed room in the house. But i prefer if you bring your camper van or tent. Share facilities (toilet and bathroom), kitchen with the host. I can cook or we can do that together. I prefer more vegetarian food, but i can eat all. It’s do demanding.
I would prefer someone easy going.
What else ...
Walking, running or biking through the mountains. We have amazing tracks even with waterfalls. At the lake you can swim. In Mortágua city, 8 km away, there's a few coffee shops but no places to visit. Close to the farm theres traces of the Roman era you can visit. On days off it's possible to go, with me, to Aveiro city and discover the Portuguese Venice. If you are sporty person we can take some fun at ours Watersport Center, with more than 10 different activities.
Can't provide accommodation and food on days off but, at least you are a free guest at the center. And will be a pleasure guide you on this beautiful and peaceful places.
