Descripción
Hi I'm Valentina, a 40 years old Neapolitan woman :-) Something about myself:

I studied psychology and I lived in South America, where I worked for different NGO as psychologist and social worker.

In 2010 I moved to Ireland where I lived for 7 years. There I learnt about self sufficiency, organic gardening, fishing, blending and dispensing herbal remedies.

I'm a qualified massage therapist, trained in Swedish massage, Thai massage, reflexology, sport and deep tissue massage.

3 years ago I bought my piece of land in Portugal, after travelling and volunteering as workawayer for a year.

It's a little paradise, surrounded by nature and only 10 minutes driving to the beach.There is a pond on the property and a small stream too. There are over 6000 m2 of land with fruits trees, sheep and bees. I also have 5 chickens and 2 sweet dogs.

I like practicing yoga and acroyoga, I enjoy hikes in the forest, good food, wine, music, movies and spending time with friends. I love working with my hands, creating beautiful (and not so beautiful) things, fixing broken stuff, restoring, renovating. I love to see tangible results and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with it.

Any help is welcome here, just drop me a message!

meeting Valentina and visiting her beautiful home was probably the best experience I had in Portugal!

It was great to meet Robert and to host him he is always willing to help and he brings creative ideas and solutions to problems. He came up with a great way to fix a steep slope by using old roof tiles, and he turned that space into a nice terraced area full of flowers!
