Description
Hello, I am Mark, Dutch but living close to Monchique. 4 years ago I started doing workaway myself in order to find a place where I felt home. I had 3 workaway experiences in Portugal which I enjoyed a lot. Finally, I ended up in Monchique which I fell in love with. After settling down for 2 years and searching for the right land, I bought a ruin with a hectare of land. Since then I have put my efforts in converting this place into a small paradise. The ruin now a proper (small) house, and my next project is to create a biological lemon farm on the terraces and mountain.
I am a conceptual artist and have experience in the commercial sector as well as cultural sector. The last years I helped people with gardening and construction work. I don't have education in the latter, but believe in learning by doing and sharing knowledge and experiences. For the people who are into surfing, the west coast is 30 minutes away.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I believe Monchique is a beautiful, relaxing place. I am not a workshop space or have an expertise in a specific thing. I am an allrounder and definitely hope to learn from you too. I am Dutch but speak Spanish, English, German, Portuguese on a good level and a bit of French.

Hébergement
At this moment I have a folding trailer for one couple with electricity, dry toilet and hot shower. I can also host campers on a beautiful spot. Soon I also will build a safari tent where people can stay in.
Of course all with a beautiful sea view :-)
Bedlinnen, food etc. is of course provided, washing machine and there can be cooked in the (outside) kitchen or meals are prepared together.
Autres infos...
On 5 min there is a bus stop but the schedule is a bit poor. The best would be if you have your own transportation and if not you should not mind to stay a bit around the house too. Hitchhiking works also very fine here in the Algarve. Of course I also make often trips and visits, which you are happy to join, but cannot go making sightseeing tours. If you have questions, please ask.
I am not vegetarian myself, but am happy to adapt if somebody is.

The work did, like in his profile mentioned, vary between light and "heavy". Sometimes there were things to be done in the household and garden, other times I was digging, getting concrete off a water tank or passing tools.
I did learn a fair bit in my time there and felt… read more
