    Descripción

    Hello! We’re Olivia and Helena and we live in the southwest of Portugal, in Vila Nova de Milfontes.

    Olivia is French and works in the foiling industry (the surfboards that fly above the water). She’s passionate about the ocean and nature in general.

    Helena is Catalan (Spanish). She runs a vintage clothing brand that she sells at markets and festivals. She loves music and plays the piano as well as other instruments.

    We’re deeply passionate about nature and travel. We’ve chosen a simple lifestyle and our home is just a few hundred meters from the dunes.

    We have three dogs: Layka, Leo and Patate.

    Layka is a female Belgian Malinois.
    Leo is a male Czechoslovakian Wolfdog.
    Patate is a male Rafeiro Alentejano, the local breed from the Alentejo region.

    We also keep ducks and chickens and since recently 3 wild cats (mum and her 2 babies) joined the tribe :)
