Description
Hi my name is Roman, I am a 42 year old semi retired English teacher. I live on the border with Spain and Portugal.
I brought a small disused farm last year and need help setting it up. The farm was disused since 2016 and there are lots of things that need fixing. However, we have a warm house with hot water, 3 bedrooms and a huge kitchen. The house is surrounded by beautiful countryside but we also have Internet. There is so much parking if you have a car or camper van that is not a problem.
I live right on the border with Spain and Portugal. I can walk to the border from my house. Where I live in really beautiful and it is so peaceful here. The capital of the province is only 20 minutes drive from me.
