  • Description

    Description

    I'm Diogo, I'm starting a project in Alqueva, a small countryside village in Portugal.
    I have two fields in the village and my goal is to make the field livable for large groups so I can host events and gatherings in the land.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I've travelled around Europe and a bit around the world so I have many stories to share from my travels. I'm constantly hosting friends from Portugal and elsewhere so you will have the opportunity to meet locals and fellow travellers! I'm passionate about cultures, languages and people so I would love to share my knowledge on Portuguese culture, mainly traditional songs and dances!

  • Help

    Help

    I ask for help around the field, building structures, planting trees, improving the living spaces, help with daily tasks such as cooking and cleaning, and if you feel like it, creating activities for the local community.
    The project is quite recent so I ask you to be open minded and to communicate if something is not right, let's make it work!

    If you can bring your own tent or car to plant in the field there is plenty of space.

    What else ...

    There is a bus from Lisbon to alqueva, should be around 13€ and stops near my place.
    Alqueva is a small village, mainly composed of older people. There is a beach 5 minutes away by car or 30 minutes walking. I'm still discovering this area so we can travel together around to places you find interesting or even some that I find around
