Description

Hello everyone!!
We are young couple from Japan and Belgium:)

Masami:
I was a dog groomer in Japan for 3 years!
I always love to be with animals:)

I love animal, insect and plant.
I love gardening and animal care;)
And I'd love to learn about beekeeping too!

I’ve been to Canada for 6 months to learn English, Australia for 1,5year and New zealand for working holiday:)

Also I like to do some crafting.
I do macrame, stone carving, fabric natural dying and bag making;)


Clarence:

Hello everyone,

Masami & I decided to live in union with Mother Earth a few years back!

We are now ready, we packed everything necessary (from board games to hammer and nails) to start our journey.

We plan to travel in north/central Portugal for about 8 months to exchange knowledge, share good moments, learn new skills, and explore the area to hopefully find a beautiful land to care for and settle down.

As well, we would love to learn more about Food Forest, permaculture, rainwater harvesting, solar panel installation, ... Basically everything that is important to know to live off-grid.

I'm a bricklayer and car mechanic, I love designing, building, and fixing things. And Masami always gives me a hand in doing so :)
I like to design and work the land, see new plants flourish on their own, ...

Otherwise, I like adventure, challenge, being creative, sharing with people, sports, hiking, learning, art, music, ....

In the past, I lived in Australia for 2 years, I traveled to New Zealand for 1 year, and I went quite a lot to Japan, where I did some work exchange on different farms too (most of the time with Masami).

NB 1: We have 1 dog (Charlie - Welsh Terrier - 13 years old - Super Calm boy - Castrated) & 1 cat (Ninja - 12 years old - Super calm outdoor boy - Castrated). They are both extremely calm and good with humans, dogs, cats, ....

NB 2: If necessary, we have a custom trailer with a tent to sleep & cook.

Hope to share soon ;)
