Details

• 

  Description

  We live 5 km walking from some awesome beaches in South West Portugal.
  
  Creating an arty geeky musical community on 2,5 hectare in a natural park. Plenty of things to help with, e.g.
  - fixing small things in and around the house
  - keeping the place clean and organized
  - playing with the kids
  - gardening
  - making trails
  - cooking (mostly vegan)
  - make art from scrap metal
  - geek out on Hitchwiki and other sites
  - no solarpunk here yet, but very interested
  
  Anything between 1 and 4 people.
  - Kids are around about half the time.
  - There's plenty of space for vans.
  - We often have guests, also thru other platforms.
  
  Last minute and shorter periods such as one week are easier to organize. It is preferable to agree on a shorter period and extend it, or you come back later.
