  Description

  Hi, we are Sophie (44, german) and Boris (49, dutch). After being workawayers ourselves for some time, we are now living in a place where we are able to host. Just an hour north of Lisbon, close to the most beautiful beaches, is our home with a big garden, fruit trees and veggies. Living close to the ocean and in the peaceful surroundings of the countryside is amazing. It’s just our private home, we don’t have a commercial business here. We enjoy working on our land and have lots of ideas and projects where we’d love a helping hand.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are located near Peniche which is a famous surf town and here are plenty of nice things to do here. We are happy to share any gardening skills, diy skills, languages and traveling stories. We hosted lots of couchsurfers in the past when we lived in Holland and we enjoyed that very much. Having done some workaway ourselves while traveling we are now looking forward to be a host. We enjoy meeting new people, working together on projects and learning about different cultures and lifestyles.

  Help

  The type of help includes general gardening depending on the season, taking care of the vegetable garden and the fruit trees, help constructing a riverbed, planning and building a chicken coop, building a cover for rainwater tanks and all those little projects around the garden. You will be doing tasks together with one of us or by yourself depending on the projects. We prefer someone with experience in gardening, DIY, or home projects.

  Accommodation

  Your accommodation is a studio at the ground floor of our house. The studio has a separate entrance, it's own bathroom and kitchen. From the studio you can step outside into our garden, where you’ll find hammocks for lazy afternoons and a swimming pool to cool off.
  
  We provide 3 meals a day in exchange for up to 25 hours a week of work, with 2 full days off. Breakfast is separate so everyone can follow their own rhythm in the morning. Lunch is our main meal of the day. We eat mostly vegetarian, organic food, but from time to time we also like to have a BBQ. In the evening we have a lighter meal.
