  Descripción

  We are Bram (39) and Kaylee (29) with a baby coming in April '27. Together with our dog Vlinder (12) we moved to a small village in Portugal just 5 minutes from the ocean.
  
  Our village is a small, local community where all neighbours know each other. Everyone likes to chat (great if you want to practise speaking Portuguese!) and we often share food with each other from our gardens.
  
  Bram is a passionate and knowledgeable organic gardener. He provides most of our veggies! Bram is a storyteller and writer, and offers guided tours in the area during tourist season. He know everything about the history of our area and loves to share stories and facts with people. In winter he works as a landscaper and gardener.
  
  Kaylee works as a photographer and online marketer and is currently studying mineral balancing to make a career shift towards the field of natural health.
  
  We have a beautiful small studio for guests like you, with an outdoor kitchen and closed bathroom with warm shower and regular toilet.

  In the garden
  - Preparing winter garden beds (weeding, mulching, planting cover crop)
  - Preparing walking paths (plowing, mulching with wood chips)
  - Fruit tree maintenance (pruning, chipping, creating mulch)
  - Planting winter crops
  - Help with installing rainwater harvesting solution
  - Optional: installing a chicken coop
  
  Help around the house:
  - Helping with gathering, chopping and storing fire wood for winter
  - Help clearing an area in the garden for rain water storage
  - Light winter maintenance jobs of the studio and outside area

  We are both neurodivergent and creative people. Kaylee is a photographer and studying natural health, and Bram is a writer and storyteller. We're pretty quiet and relaxed people. In the morning we need our space. We prefer deep talks over small talk and love to share about our interests and projects. We are happy to take you on our daily dog walks to the beach. We have a bicycle available. We regularly drive to towns in the area, and like to go to the gym. We're happy to give you a ride.
