    Description

    Hello there!

    Me, Lea, and my husband Bruno are renovating the piece of land we recently bought close to Lisbon.
    The property was abandoned with 1500 sqm of land, and we are slowly rebuilding it following sustainable solutions such as an off-the-grid self-sustained system, permaculture for the garden, etc. We build everything ourselves with second-hand materials, recycle and compost almost everything, and we have 2 dogs, a cat, and bees!! :) Soon, we will have chickens.
    If you stay with us, you can come in a van or sleep in our detached containers, where we usually host guests. I usually cook for everybody. I am vegetarian, but Bruno eats some meat from time to time, especially when we have big barbecues with friends.
    The property is 20 mins from Lisbon and the connections to the train station are not the best so having a car can be very useful.
    We like proactive, curious and handy peeps from all over the world. We offer food and accommodation, and we would prefer longer stays.

    Before settling here, we traveled the world, so we would love to have people from all around the world!
    We speak English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese and I am really keen on learning new ones :)

    We have 1 dog (big, but super friendly) and one cat. We welcome other dogs, but unfortunately, we can't accept other cats as our cat and dogs don't allow any other cats on the property!

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    We would like to open our house to the highest possible degree of cultural diversity to be learn along the way with you.
    We offer incredible stories from our travels... Me and Bruno met in Australia; he is Portuguese and I am Italian, and that is just the beginning :)
    On the work side, Bruno is an engineer and he projects and builds everything here. There is a lot to learn.
    I am a researcher at the University of Nottingham (UK) and I work on climate change and environmental law and a former hippy traveler who worked in several farms.
    Plus, we make a lot of our own food, including our own pasta!
    We would love to share and exchange all this!

    Our garden is organised in veggie patches around the trees (guilded trees), where we use permaculture methods and companion planting. The list of activities includes basically every task in the garden, from weeding to planting to nursing to cleaning.
    We also have various vermicomposts :)
    In terms of constructions, at the moment we need to build a greenhouse, a wall and repair the fence.

    There is a ton of things to do around here, from amazing beaches, surfing, wind surfing on the lake, biking etc..
    For the urban folk, you have exhibitions and beautiful tours in Lisbon and Setubal (we live in between the 2).. And of course all the night life that Lisbon, Setubal and Almada can offer.
    It is better if you have a car. Otherwise we can sort something out.
