  Description

  Hello, I'm Marije, I live with my 16 year old son in Portugal in our new wooden house! we love surfing, gardening and living close to the surfing capital of Europe, Peniche! we lead an outdoor life and are going to work on our garden as soon as possible, now we are focusing on finishing the last major work on the wood cabin. I live in real Portugal in a small village in the middle of the fields. the neighbors pass by with fresh vegetables, horses, cows and sheep. the biggest advantage is that you also live close to the beach, the areia branca beach is only 15 minutes away. By bike you can reach the larger city, Lourinha, within 15 minutes. Lourinha is famous for its dinosaur skeletons and fossils. there is a large open-air museum and excavations have been done along the entire coast.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  With me you can experience what it is like to live abroad. to realize your dream and start a project from scratch. I bought land and applied for all permits. I now have a wooden house and can advise you on how to approach something like this. I sailed around the world for 8 years for this project. I am a world traveler through and through. You can also learn to surf or paddle board, if you are interested in language lessons you have come to the right place, because I am a Dutch teacher. In exchange for work I can give you language lessons.

  Help

  I am looking for a handy man who can help with woodwork. To be honest, I'm looking for a real handyman, a carpenter would be great! the carpenter who helped me build has moved on and I'm not that skilled myself ;-) in return I can teach you how to surf in 2 weeks! or teach you Dutch, since i am a professional Dutch certified teachter.
  
  the other part i need help is to built up my garden. i need people who have green fingers and experience with gardening and building up a garden, i live for the first time in 10 years on land, and after all the sailing, i do not know so well how to make a nice garden with not much money.
