  Description

  I'm Torsten, I'm in my late fifties, but young at heart. I come from Germany and ended up settling here in the area some years ago while traveling Europe.
  I live on my finca right on the Rio Guadiana, in a small house, together with Luna, my gentle dog and with Oscar and Lulu, my two cats.
  There is about one hectare of land with mainly olive trees, some orange, pomegranate and fig trees, some grapevines and a vegetable garden.
  I enjoy cooking (vegetarian) and love good and healthy food, I bake my own bread. I love nature and try to keep my ecological footprint as small as possible.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I am very interested in cultural exchange and enjoy every new experience and insight that life gives me and that I can share. I love having deep conversations and philosophising.
  We can learn language from each other and shareing knowledge about crafts, gardening, permaculture and sustainable living.
  I would like to learn more about Qui-Gong and Yoga. Also I would like to improve my Spanish.
  
  Music has accompanied me throughout my life, even though I have no formal musical training. Making music together is fun and I find it fulfilling. You are playing an instrument? Bring it if you like! I’m playing bass and little guitar.
  
  When interacting with people, respect and empathy are most important to me. Respecting privacy and treating each other responsibly are key priorities.
  
  Come with your friends or bring your family.
  Enjoy a peaceful and simple life surrounded by nature.

  Autres infos...

  In your time off you can explore the beautiful Andalusia and Algarve. Meet up with the many friendly and welcoming people in a multi-cultural community on Spanish and Portuguese sides of the river. There are music nights, concerts and festivals in the nearby villages on several occasions during the year. Water sports, boat trips, great hiking and biking era. Depending on the season, fishing is possible.
  
  Families are welcome!
  There is plenty of space for your camper van or caravan on the finca.
  If the chemistry is right, a longer stay is possible and would be welcome.
  
  The nearest village is about 10 km away, the nearest town 30 km. In emergencies, I will of course arrange transport, but if you want to be independent, you should be mobile.
