  Description

  Canadian/Iranian living in the beautiful mountain top of Madeira Island. I live in a small traditional home along with my two English bulldogs 🥰🐶
  I also have a dwarf goat whose name is Pia and 6 chickens. I travel for work every now and then and am looking for someone who is good with animals, especially dogs, to look after them during my travels.
  If you love nature, you’ll love spending time at my place. You’ll see the stars, the moon, sunrise everyday, the ocean, the mountains, birds singing every morn and eve, the freshest air you’ll ever breathe too!
  My English bulldogs are so friendly, affectionate and well behaved. They like eating a lot though, and going on walks.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  While you’re here you could meet up with the ever growing digital nomads group in Madeira. They host all types of events all the time. You can also interact with the locals, my Portuguese neighbours. They are very friendly. Here in the rural north you can learn about the traditional way of life and old school farming. On your time off and days off you can enjoy the beautiful levada nature walks right next to my house, natural swimming pool 10 min drive away or the actual beach about 25 min drive away. Madeira has every type of sport activity, event, interest group that you're interested in and I'm always happy to help you schedule those in to your time here so that you can make the best of your visit to Madeira.

  Help

  If I'm travelling then I'd need help with taking care of my two English bulldogs mainly but also feeding my chickens, collecting their eggs and moving my dwarf goat around the land and checking up on her every now and then.
  If I'm home, then I'd take on most of the care for my pets and animals, volunteers can learn and help as well but would also do some gardening and some house chores. No more than 3 to 4 hours a day of help. With weekends off.
