Description

I'm Andrea, a happy father of 4 girls, anthropologist by education, traveler by vocation, farmer by passion, mason and carpenter when needed, permaculturist by inspiration. I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, first to the East, alone, to study Romani populations and work with NGOs operating in the field, then with my family, visiting farms, ecovillages, and communities. After more than two years of experience as WWOOF volunteers, we settled in rural Portugal, where we became part of the local community.

I am Veronica, a loving mother of 4, my kids are 12,8,5,2 years old, I am an anthropologist specialized in african studies. i have been a swim trainer and life guard, I worked with defavorized Roma families, mostly with girls and mothers, developing educational projects for Roma teens. ihave been travelling with my husband and my family being a Wwoof volunteer. i love creating activities with the children, following their learning flow, as I homeschooled my kids most of the time. I love freeclimbing, travelling, yoga, and connect with people and different cultures.
Last year I published two books and me and my husband produced and released a documentary movie about Portugal wildfires.
