Description

Hey! We're Patchi and Vasco!

I'm Patchi, 27 years old, from Brazil but living in London and Europe for the past 9 years!

Exploring the world consciously is my reason to be, and I value travel that allows me to give back to the place I am visiting. I love feeling like I belong to a place so I often choose to spend longer periods of time to integrate, connect with the locals, live like one too.
I am a big lover of the outdoors, hiking, trail-running, climbing, swimming, surfing! I deeply care about our earth and love projects that work within the environmental, reforestation, and regeneration goals.
My working background has varied from producing art events, gardening, to managing a yoga studio, to working behind a bar, and building sets! I love learning new skills and am infinitely curious !

My name is Vasco, I’m a 26 year old surfer from the southwest coast of Portugal, living in Alentejo.

I’ve spent my life between Lisbon, where I studied, and this quiet region where I grew up and first connected with the ocean, nature, and rural life.

In the last few years, I’ve become more and more interested in permaculture. I recently completed a Permaculture Design Course in the south of Portugal, and follow the work of guys like Bill Mollison and Ernst Götsch. Their ideas opened a new curiosity in me, and I’m now looking to explore new places, meet people, and continue learning about regenerative agriculture in a hands-on way!
