Description
We are Theo and Kim, a Cypriot-Canadian couple living on a beautiful piece of land passed down from Theo's giagia. The orchard was abandoned for almost 10 years until we accidentally ended up in Cyprus after the world shut down in 2020.
We are slowly caretaking the land with regenerative principles, as our time and work allow. We're looking for experienced people to help with multiple land-based projects, including building dry rock walls, natural building projects, cleaning overgrown areas, felling dead trees and mulching.
Our piece of land has views of Troodos (the highest peak in Cyprus) and the Soleas Valley. The land ends in a river, where we have a private swimming hole. We have somewhere around 70 fruit trees, many ducks, three cats and likely will soon have chickens.
We love spending time outside, whether it's rock climbing, highlining, freediving, or doing acrobatics, juggling and handbalancing in the park.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Theo grew up spending weekends on this land helping his grandpa take care of the orchard. We're very connected to Cypriot culture and Kim has learned many of the traditional ways of preserving harvests over the last 3 years. We are very open people that love to meet and share with others -- as active people, we especially love movement-based exchanges.
