Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
I am Luis, a geographer who worked with indigenous people lands rights in Brazil for 8 years. After finishing my masters studies about indigenous lands cartography I decided to live myself as I learned with our natives.
This workaway project started in June 2014, by the indication of a German couple who came to my place trought couchsurf. We hosted more than 60 workawayers from all over the world on last tree years and it was an amazing experience for me and everybody else. Lots of friendships was created in our atmosphere!!
We started our project asking for help on the construction to improve our infrastructure to host surfers and travelers. The constructions was made by intuitive building with re-usage of old materials, drinking a lot in the fonts of the traditional knowledge of the native Brazilian indigenous people. European people use to call this permaculture and bio-construction. In fact they stole the indigenous knowledge, mixed with scientific parameters to prove that its a better and most sustainable way to live and sell back this know how to the lost people in the cities who look for new and healthier ways of life. We do something similar but we study indigenous knowledge from our relatives and friends, we invite them to live with us, we travel to their lands to learn from them and help in whatever we can, and than we share this knowledge to our partners. As scientific knowledge is an expensive key, we study what the best designers are discovering about structures, materials and shapes. Usually they discover in a more expensive way things that the indigenous have a millenarian knowledge about. But sometimes the mix of both get a good flavor.
The new camp-site is opened for all kind of people who want to have direct contact with the nature, dunes, the ocean and the second biggest lake in Brasil! Come to share this paradise!
