Description
Ok, here it goes:
I live in the middle of nowhere by a river.
I built two little houses so far and am focusing now on creating food gardens and another house, the roof is already done, foundation and mud walls are next.
It is important to understand that this isn't a place for people who can't live without a certain level of luxury.
Compost toilet.
Internet is not reliable, was just off for days.
Since it comes from a prepaid mobile card, the use is expensive and therefore restricted.
To me this place is paradise, but if you are used to the luxuries of city life, it may just be a nightmare.
Just making sure you don't come with false expectations :)

Help
The help that I need help with is mainly creating food gardens and building houses.
Right now there is my little earth house and a tiny shed on the beautiful 7 HA property with a river for bathing and a stream to enjoy fresh clear water.

Accommodation
A wooden shed I lived in for quite a while before moving into my new house. Or the workshop which can be easily turned into a bedroom.
What else ...
The place is about 30 minutes from the next city, Rocha, and about one hour from the coast.
It's a 45 minute walk to get to the road, where buses pass about 4 times a day.
I have a car and go to Rocha about once or twice a week.

As described in description, had to work 2hours a day digging sand for Roger to build his mud house. The work is autonomous and can be accounted through text. Most of the times, there will be a playful and lovely dog to accompany you.

She donated blood to critters, she faced the wild and overcame fear and pain (in meditation).
I'd host her again any time.
