Description
We are couple who just moved to Patagonia. We are Migle, from Lithuania and Pablo, from Chile and we are trying to set up a sustainable, off-grid, forest living home here in the Patanogian native forest.
We are currently constructing our house/workshop and our some of our next project include a construction of a camping/glamping area for people to come here and experience the simple life in Patagonian forest, greenhouse construction and set up of a small veg farm to grow our own food, cleaning dead/felled trees and other forestry management task to prevent forest fire spreads, planting native trees where possible and fencing the property to prevent illegal logging and cattle intrusions. Gathering firewood is an on going project too.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are here to learn from the land and from others. You will learn with us about construction methods, trying to build sustainably in a remote area and the associated challenges and have the least intervention possible; about the forest itself and all its inhabitants, about weather systems in a valley and living surrounded by glaciers. We are very much learning and you are welcome to learn from us.
Help
General help with all tasks, mostly in building projects and with time these tasks will evolve to more general maintenance, forestry management, gardening ect. Almost all projects current are very physical as we are still setting up the essential infrastructure so be prepared for manual work :) Most tasks will be basic at the moment, such as digging holes, gathering materials etc. No previous experience required.
