Description
We are Nina and Ed, originally from Malta, 5 years living in the UK between 2015-2020, and now living in Portugal, in a beautiful place close to the sea and mountains.
Some years ago, we left city life to start exploring alternatives and living closer to nature - through volunteering and house-sitting which has taken us to some really beautiful places, and people!
We are both very connected to nature, as well as art, music, culture, and wellbeing. Ed is an illustrator and Nina is a writer.
In September 2020 we completed a Permaculture Design Course in Sintra, Portugal, after which we spent 5 months living and working on the same farm and educational centre. We have now bought a small piece of land in the north of Portugal which eventually, we hope to restore and build a smallholding to grow food and maybe host events and artists.
We will arrive at your home or project with open minds and warm hearts, enthusiasm and presence. We like working outside and getting our hands dirty. We are friendly, sociable and open people :)
