    Hi,

    My name is David and I'll tell you a bit about me. I grew up in Lisboa and always lived, studied and worked there, until a few years ago I started feeling less and less happy with the kind of life I had in the city. So one day I decided to change the stressful kind of life I had for a more quiet life, in a family owned property in the country side. I guarantee that was one of the best decisions in my life!

    I have 1 cat and 2 dogs but also my neighbor's dogs and cats show up here all the time, so we are surrounded by plenty of friendly
    pets :)

    The property is a 3 hectares (30.000 m2) piece of land, close to Lisboa (50Km), in front of Cape Espichel, just next to the Ocean and beautiful cliffs and near the beach. (From Lisboa you can easily reach us by Bus)
    The property has belonged to our family for 50 years. We live in a wooden Bungalow and our project is based on a small Eco farm where we have some couple of small pods to rent in the summer, a small organic garden and some fruit trees from where we take many of the delicious vegetables we eat from spring to Autumn. Although I still eat some fish and meat, I try to have as much vegetarian meals as possible. We also have couple of cosy wood cabins we rent in the Summer.

    Harmony with nature and a sustainable way of life are major concerns. Electricity is provided by solar panels, water comes from our well, we only use biological hygiene and cleaning products, we use dry compost toilets, we compost, recycle and reuse as much as possible.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    I am a communicative and friendly person that loves nature, travelling, meeting new people and sharing life experiences. This project allows us to travel without moving as we receive volunteers from all parts of the world.

    I am half Portuguese and half Spanish. I can also teach and practice with you Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan (my 3 natural languages), I also speak English, French, and some basic Italian.

    We can introduce you to some of the Portuguese cuisine, explain and recommend how to explore around the area and if you want also tell you about the history, culture and traditions.

    We ask for 4/5 hours of daily help 5 days a week in a schedule to decide. It's up to you to chose what to do the rest of the day :-)

    Good sense of humor, creativity, hard work, initiative, positive spirit and multi skills are very valued.

    Help is needed in different tasks. We are looking for volunteers to help us with the general daily tasks of the house such as cleaning and cooking, gardening, watering, planting, painting etc and any others related to life in a farm and country side.

  • Algo más...

    Algo más...

    There is a lot to see in and and around the area!

    Starting with hiking all the paths surrounding the land, you can easily reach the top of the cliffs in the coast (5 mins walk),Cabo Espichel is just a couple of kilometres away.
    It takes 20 mins to walk to the closest village (Azoia), where you can find two cafes and a minimarket. There are buses daily to go to Sesimbra (the biggest town in the area and also quite touristy 10km away from our place).
    From Sesimbra there here are also several daily buses to Lisbon or Setubal ( in case you want to spend a day in the city).

    If you prefer to go to the beach it will take you another 25 mins to walk to Praia da Foz, the closest one. Further more you can find other beaches along the coast. There are also some hidden gems we'll be happy to show you :)
