Description
We have moved from Los Angeles to a lovely home in the Peneda-Gerês National Park in Northern Portugal. We will be doing many projects after the new year including gardening, attic insulation, and other remodeling-type projects. Watch for our updated calendar and project info in 2022. If you like to cook, and/or speak European Portuguese that would be a huge benefit!

We are beginners in European Portuguese and it would be great to exchange English for Eu. Portuguese! Sorry, we aren't interested in other dialects of Portuguese at this time.
Hébergement
We have space in the house proper and when the attic is finished that will be a nice space. There is a separate outdoor bathroom for use also.
Autres infos...
We are in a small village that is a tourist destination. We have 2 small markets, several cafes and restaurants all within easy walking distance. Also very close to natural pools and endless hiking!

This folks confirmed with me a few days before the arrival date. I blocked others from coming because we can only have a few people help at a time now. I bought extra food for them and they never showed up or emailed/texted to cancel. Not cool at all.

Jose was a good and conscientious worker, communicative, and fun to be around. His girlfriend disappeared 2 of the 4 days we worked, but did her share of work the 2 days she did participate. I would recommend Jose for sure, Valentina not so much.

This was a educational experience where I learned about the art of building and eco-dome. I had a nice place to sleep and food to fuel my body. It was great to see all the environmental friendly strategies that were used at this home. Thank you for the opportunity to volunteer at your place.

I had an amazing time working for Khadija and Sheamus. They are brilliant, attentive hosts. Keen to make sure my stay was a pleasant as possible. I don't think I could have picked a better host for my first workaway. I wish them all the best for the future and with their build.
