  • Description

    The two of us have been a couple for more than 13 years and we go through life and the world together. We would like to get to know other people, cultures, ecological and healthy ways of life and each other further, to contribute, develop and extend our skills and knowledge. We prefer the simpler, natural life, beyond the consumer madness and long for a quiet but lively place where we can realize our ideas.
    Steffen is the practical, skilled craftsman type, who tackles where things need to be done and improvises where it is possible. He has learned to use different tools. His passion is photography, design and of course preparing german sourdough bread. I, Raphael, have been travelling more musically so far and am enthusiastic about natural medicine, indigenous cultures, flora and fauna and languages. We have already gained experience in gardening on the leased field in Germany and since we started with helpX and workaway in any farms and homestays in Australia, New Zealand, Florida and Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, twice in Mexico and Costa Rica, once in Guatemala, we're now back in Europe, Portugal. We would like to intensify the natural interaction with plants and animals, especially the (rain) forest reforestation.
    Any tasks or results were for example: build a wooden base for a shed, build steps on a slope, pathway through fruit trees, build composting bins, build a chicken coop, build a solar dryer, Preparing walls including plustering and painting, building fences, plant bushes and trees, create garden beds, tidy up garage, dig drains, build small and huge parcel delivery boxes, replace a kitchen, build chairs, tables, shelf's, benches, doors and garden constructions for climbing. And everywhere was animal care a part of our workaway life (dog, cat, chicken, cow, sheep, goat, donkey, horse)
