Description
Hi. We are a couple from Ireland and England, who are looking to volunteer to learn more about cob building and self sufficiency amongst other things. We are at home in Ireland at the moment but are due to travel to Portugal in the next few days. We have voluntered in South America a few years ago, and have stayed with a couple of workaways in France earlier this year. Seamus is a carpenter and I work as a waitress. We realize that safety is a big issue these days, and we will be getting a covid test before leaving Ireland or when we arrive in Portugal.

We had the good fortune to stay with Francoise during the lockdown. Francoise made us feel very welcome and had a very relaxed attitude. We are very grateful to have been able to spend the amount of time with her. The work was very enjoyable either in the garden or in the house depending on the weather. The surrounding area is beautiful with many… read more

We were with Nathalie just over 3 weeks and the time went too fast! Nathalie is a very welcoming host and treats her workawayers as if they were guests, probably too good really! She knows exactly what she needs done which is very helpful because you know exactly what you need to do and can just work away at the jobs. The area is stunning and you… read more
