Description
Hello, I stay temporary out may home for 6 month and I cannot to receive people in this time maybe in July or agost I can.
Sorry
, I am building an ecological house using bio-construction techniques (dirt, bottles and green ceiling). I need help to build the mud walls and can teach the volunteer several building techniques and also about Permaculture.
This house is a small inside the Atlantic Forest
Food: I'll provide the basic food but the volunteer will have to prepare it, that involves simple breakfast, lunch and snacks (basically vegetables and tapioca ) , I am a vegetarian and therefore won't buy any meat .
Experience: I am a bio-architect and Permaculturist, teach several courses and can teach the volunteer about bio-construction and Permaculture. In my house there are several books about the subject and it is also a laboratory house in Permaculture design, with a "zero garbage production" experience for over 13 years. I also need help with the kitchen garden, fixing filters and to build an extra bedroom using of the same techniques I mentioned before.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Ubatuba is in the north coast of São Paulo, with over 70 beaches, some of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil can be found here. There are several waterfalls and over 80% of the city is preserved and protected Atlantic Forest which provides different options to hike and take long walks. It is a great place for outdoor activities!
Culturally speaking, Ubatuba is a very rich town. We have the Quilombolas, a community formed by african slaves that ran away to live together and that still exists, perpetuated by it's descendants who still live together up to date. There are also two Guarani tribes that are still active.
Ubatuba is right beside Paraty, a historical city in the state of Rio de Janeiro which preserves its old buildings, forming a historical center. Paraty also holds many cultural events throughout the year and is 270 km away from Rio de Janeiro (capital) and 250 km away from São Paulo.
