Description
I am a single mum with 2 teenagers. We are finishing the renovations of our house and building a workshop just outside. There are lots of things that need doing to finish the workshop, and I want to get it done so I can start using it for my own work projects. I have 5 hectares of land which is forest and meadow. There is clearing wood, cutting trees, strimming brambles, and many many more things to do on the land. There are so many things that could be achieved if I had some help, otheriwse it will be very slow progress. I'm not that interested in cooking, so I'd also appreciate help with cooking dinners sometimes too!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
My land is situated in Carrascalinho, Rogil, within the Vicentina national park. We are 15 minutes by car to the incredible West coast beaches Carriagem and Praia dos Homens, 25 minutes from the famous surf beaches Odeceixe and Arrifana. We are a 12 minute drive from the lovely and popular town of Aljezur which has a developing expat community. This is an area of incredible natural beauty and the social experiences available can be enriching and much is focussed on wellbeing and healing. Many people are drawn to this area because of it's healing vibration. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants/ needs to get their hands in the earth and get grounded.
