  Descripción

  We are William, Laure and 3 year old Rafael. We are a young family, originally from Belgium, who moved to live off-grid in Central Portugal 6 years ago. We live on 2 hectares of land ("a quinta") in a valley next to a tiny village, called Travancinha. We look out onto the Serra da Estrela mountains and enjoy the freedom of living outdoors as much as we can.
  
  Will works in timberframe building and Laure has a background in pattern - and clothing making. But we both spend most of our time raising our family while building, gardening and landscaping. Except for our family house, the quinta holds a small outhouse with a covered kitchen porch and a natural swimming pond.
  We share this valley with lovely neighbours of all ages and from different corners of the world, who enjoy the same type of outdoors alternative lifestyle as we do, and there is a growing community in our area with ever more markets , concerts, jams, yoga , breathwork and many other activities going on.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Helping out on our quinta is a good way to get acquainted with an alternative way of living. If you are curious to know what it is like to live off grid in nature and the joys and challenges of setting up a self-sustainable household ( setting up solar, using a well for water supply, protecting against fire, setting up a garden) this is a good way to explore that. There are many people from all nationalities, ages and walks of life choosing to carve their own path in this area, and you can get a sense of what this growing community is like. We live right at the foot of the mountains Serra da Estrela where you can go for many beautiful hikes. There s a lot of streams and river beaches around for swimming and relaxing.
