  Description

  Hello workawayers,
  
  I am Rafael, a Portuguese musician living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
  I have a countryside house at the beautiful Faial island (Azores, Portugal), which during Summer months functions as a Bed and Breakfast (for the moment the B&B is maintained by local staff, no help needed).
  
  The long-term plan is to transform the property into a nature and art-dedicated site, with a park, eco-agriculture and develop artistic and cultural projects. In June 2017 we organised a very successful Lantern Fest, as part of the Azores Fringe Festival, and we've recently acquired an upright piano.
  
  For now (2018) we intend to:
  - continue general renovation works
  - draft the concert room
  - beautify the exteriors (terraces, garden, etc.)
  - build a sun deck and fountain
  
  and develop cultural and artistic projects in site.
  
  Continuing, in 2019 and 2020 with:
  - building a greenhouse with recycled windows and materials
  - building a natural swimmingpool - pond in the garden
  
  Since I live abroad, my stays at Faial are often limited to short periods. Therefore, potential helpers need to be EXPERIENCED and able to work and develop (their) projects ALONE.
