Description
I have now started a project living in nature on a large site of land in the middle of nowhere. Just beginning this project so still in the very early stage.
I am a Portuguese national living in London for 30 years. I am planning to form a community where we can all build our shelters and create lots of art in the food forest.
At the moment I am away working in London and there is a volunteer looking after the land who would need an helping hand and company.

Working towards a food forest, self-sufficiency, and money-less living. Growing food, producing own energy, crafting own tools, using our own water, natural buildings.
The aim is to build an Off-grid, self-sufficient cob village, Creative community.
Besides learning and sharing experience, you will have an opportunity to observe and explore local rural lifestyle and surroundings. Life here is laid back and relaxing, not much activities to offer, except nature walks. Our location is right on edge of natural reserve of Rio Tejo, so there is diversity of wildlife to be found. River Tejo is 5km away.

Tejo Internacional Natural Park
If you enjoy silence and harsh Nature, you will find it in the 40 kilometres of a park full of fauna and flora rarities. At one of the least populated areas in Portugal, animals and plants rule. Among holm oaks and cork oaks, heather and rosemary, there 154 bird species, 44 mammal species, 15 amphibian species, 20 reptile species, 12 fish species and 153 insect species coexisting in the Tejo Internacional Natural Park area, making it one of the most important protected areas in Portugal. Here, in the Castelo Branco municipality, where the Tagus River meets Spain, the Natural Park combines the best of Nature with historical and cultural heritage. Traces from the Neolithic and Roman graves live side-by-side with rustic villages where almost no one lives and the landscape integrates harmoniously the popular architecture of local traditional villages which seem to receive it with open arms.
