    Description

    I'm Kiko. I like to travel, so I've decided to do it for my whole life. Soo I'm in my home now to do some missions. One of them is raise my son. Another, is transform a shed to a cultural hub. So, to accomplish this last task, we need people experienced in renovations and construction.

    My family have a big land in middle of the trees, like a peace of forest, near to the city, in the neighborhood Cocaia, in Ilhabela, 10 minutes walking from the neighborhood and beach Perequê. In this land we have a kind of village, just betwen my parents and friends. Near to some waterfalls and not to far away from some beaches.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can learn and teach togheter in many kinds of tasks. I've been working in some constructions and lived in some boats... The last 4 years I've stayed at home learning more deep with the nature around here. And the challenge of learning something new continues.

    My family is really big and my grandparents arrived in this island a long time ago... Soo we know here very well and the island is huge and very special place in the world. So many special people lives here and ... no coments about the nature around us... We live betwen a little and beautiful forest full of life!

  • Help

    Help

    We recently had a baby. Now there's less time to work also to teach. So, we need help from people with EXPERIENCE in construction and maintenance OR harvesting, and food preparation. These are the main tasks here. We hope that every body can help also in the basic clean and organization of the shared area.

    A shared room in the hangar "Ponto de cultura Barracão". Its a place that is transforming from a shed to a cultural hub.

    We can provide the breakfast. For the others meals we can provide the kitchen and sometimes the farm harvests.

    What else ...

    When you arrive in the islad, we probably can pick you up at the ferry boat. Its important to arrive at the day, not at the night. We just have a baby and it means a lot of work for us and feel time to spend in the another tasks.
