  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I am moving from the USA to Portugal, have lived in 4 continents since my childhood and love the cultural exchange people share .
  
  Those interested would be learning alongside me from the locals the ways they grow food, raise livestock and from me more traditional ways of cooking heavily influenced by classical French cuisine and Asian influence .
  
  Those interested in dog training could benefit from it also , since I will have dog trainers coming often to work with me and the dogs .
