  • Description

    Description

    We are looking for a practical, creative and hands-on Workawayer who enjoys working with tools, machinery, nature and sustainable projects.

    Our 2-hectare property is located in the beautiful mountains of Gerês, Northern Portugal, just 5 minutes from a village with shops, cafés and essential services. Surrounded by forests, streams, rock formations and stunning landscapes, it offers a unique opportunity to experience a simple and nature-connected lifestyle.

    What makes this place special?

    • Private forest with walking trails and peaceful spots to relax
    • Natural stream running through the property
    • Waterfall nearby
    • River beaches within a short distance for swimming during summer
    • Spectacular mountain views and sunsets
    • Outdoor kitchen surrounded by nature
    • Rustic hot shower in the forest
    • Cozy caravan accommodation with a comfortable bed
    • Small natural-style pool overlooking the mountains
    • Two friendly dogs, Pivô and Hunter, sharing the adventure with us

    Who are we?

    We are a couple: Isabel is Portuguese and Erik is Dutch. We enjoy sustainable living, creative projects and making the most of life in nature. We love meeting people from different backgrounds and sharing experiences, skills and stories.

    Who are we looking for?

    Someone versatile, curious and resourceful who enjoys learning and helping with different kinds of projects. Skills in any of the following areas are highly appreciated:

    • Sustainable and natural building
    • Carpentry and woodworking
    • Use and maintenance of tools and machinery
    • DIY projects
    • Landscaping and gardening
    • Permaculture
    • Stone work
    • Small repairs and practical problem-solving
    • Off-grid and eco-living systems

    The work is varied and depends on the season and ongoing projects. We value initiative, creativity and a positive attitude more than formal qualifications.

    What we offer

    In exchange for 4 hours of help per day, 6 days per week, we provide:

    • Accommodation in a private caravan
    • Breakfast
    • A substantial afternoon snack
    • Dinner
    • Access to all the natural surroundings and facilities
    • A peaceful environment to disconnect from city life and reconnect with nature
    • Opportunities to learn about sustainable living and land stewardship

    This experience is ideal for people who enjoy creating, building, learning and living close to nature.

    If you are the kind of person who sees possibilities where others see challenges, we would love to hear from you.
