Description
Hi, we are Carine (the Netherlands) and Ricardo (Portugal) and we are aiming to live an off-grid life at the coast in the north of Portugal. Our land lies between the Aveiro lagoon and the Atlantic ocean in a forest that ends at the beach. We live together with our friend Virginie (Portugal), 4 dogs (of which one is blind), 3 cats, 6 horses and one pony.
We are an easy going couple that likes to surf, sail on our little sailboat in the Aveiro lagoon, ride our horses and travel and we keep an healthy lifestyle.
We started our project from scratch 4 years ago in a beautiful, peaceful environment.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
The area we live is still quite traditional. You can find the traditional fisherman’s lifestyle (arte xavega). The Aveiro lagoon is the biggest wetland in Portugal and it’s a famous bird watch area, including the beautiful flamingos. Also we have bikes to explore the surroundings. The ocean is at the end of our land with a big beach with only some fisherman visiting.
Aide
We need help with maintenance on our off-the-grid project. There are always things to do, to improve, to organize. Sometimes the work is heavier and sometimes it’s more easy going. It can be from landscaping to moving woods, from taking care of our living spaces to building up a wood project. Also we have an adorable blind dog that needs to be looked after at times. We ask a minimum of 2 weeks to get into the lifestyle and to have time getting to know each other and the space, but we prefer longer term stay.
Also we need a handy person to give a help to recover an old sailboat that is out of the water to change into a place to stay.

During your time off you can enjoy the empty beaches and the forest where you might spot an eagle, owl or fox or a dolphin in the ocean! Explore the ocean for a dive or some surf on of our nearby beaches with lifeguards. The interior ria you can use to go for a paddle or come for a sailing session with us. There are bikes to use to explore the surroundings or to go to a local shop, market or town. There are bike and birdwatch trails at our doorstep.
You can spend time with the animals or relax in a hammock.
We are also near the beautiful cities of Porto and Aveiro that are both easily reachable by train.
