Help us with natural building projects and enjoy outdoor adventures in Kakopetria, Cyprus

  Description

  We are Theo and Kim, a Cypriot-Canadian couple living on a beautiful piece of land in Cyprus, passed down from Theo's giagia. The orchard was abandoned for almost 10 years until we accidentally ended up in Cyprus after the world shut down in 2020.
  
  We are slowly caretaking the land with regenerative principles, as our time and work allows. We're looking for help with multiple land-based projects, including prepping garden beds, rock wall building, natural building projects, cleaning overgrown areas, felling dead trees, maybe even building a treehouse ;)
  
  Our piece of land is in the village of Kakopetria, with views of Troodos (the highest peak in Cyprus) and the Soleas Valley. The land ends in a river, where we have a private swimming hole. We have somewhere around 70 fruit trees, some ducks, many cats and likely will soon have chickens.
  
  We love spending time outside, whether it's rock climbing, highlining, freediving, doing acrobatics and handbalancing in the park or just exploring. We hope to attract other active, outdoor people and are happy to take our workawayers on some epic adventures with us :)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Theo grew up spending weekends on this land helping his grandpa take care of the orchard. We're very connected to Cypriot culture and Kim has learned many of the traditional ways of preserving harvests over the last 3 years. We are very open people that love to meet and share with others -- as active people, we especially love movement-based exchanges.
