Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Daily contacts with the friendly locals, I can tell a lot about Portuguese culture; I am a very experienced gardener so I can coach or supervise whoever wants to learn more by doing it. I am a chef and love to prepare traditional dishes as well as Indian food.
Aide
Due to reducing mobility, vertigo and an eye condition I would be delighted when you could help me in house and garden, general maintenance, incidentally being my driver in my car with automatic gear, and pet care/walking my dogs.
The garden with a small pond and a raised veggie bed gives always a lot of work.
In October/November I need two helpers (sharing a queensize bed) to help with the olive harvest and the follow up: processing the pruned branches to kindle and firewood.
(From December until March I prefer to host one person at the time.) But due to big delay in autumn jobs in the garden I will accept offers from couples this winter.
When pet sitting is the main objective so that I can go away for a week or so, your stay will be self catered without other chores.
Important notices: I need helpers who are fluent in Dutch, English or Portuguese, minimum age 25 years;
My three small dogs come from shelters; experience and affinity with dogs is essential for a pleasant stay and for the well-being of all of us;
Due to my own health condition I cannot cater for vegans and raw foodists, but you are free to prepare your own meals.Langues parlées
Anglais: Courant
Hollandais: Courant
Portugais: CourantHébergement
A double room (queen size bed) with shared bathroom. Shared sitting, kitchen, veranda and garden. It is important to know that during wintertime the living is well heated but you will need winter clothes as well.

My first days with her were quite adventurous, because of the forest fires in her region. But she conveyed calm while explaining me how to behave, if the worst case would have happened, so I always felt safe with her during that time.
Apart from that, the time with Helen was quite… read more
