Description

Hi

We're Helen and Roger an easy going hard working couple always willing to try new things. We love meeting people and broadening the horizons of our happy life.

We live in a small village with our very friendly small dog “Gnasher” on the edge of the Parc Estrela in Central Portugal. We're currently renovating the traditional stone house on our land that will eventually become our home.

We are a mature, experienced, practical couple who enjoy nature and the company of people and other animals. Workaway has been a great experience for us to both learn from and share our skills and experiences with others.

Love
Roger, Helen and Gnasher
