    Descrição

    Hi Everyone!

    I’m Cindy, I'm part of a vegan off grid project in the south west Algarve, 8km from the nearest beach.
    I'd started working on an off grid set up before the land was burnt in a wildfire in 2020. The landscape and vegetation was completely changed by the fire, and it meant starting from scratch again.

    I'm now looking for a helper or two to give me a hand with renovating the inside of an old caravan which is being turned into a kind of tiny house, and create a storage space for tools etc. I've started planting fruit trees and will also carry on with this over the winter.

    I have a solar system, and the caravan has a roof over for shade. There's a simple temporary outdoor kitchen and the start of a garden but facilities are still very basic. There’s a well, running water from four IBC tanks, a hot water boiler and a shower.

    I can offer you delicious plant-based meals - with the option of lots of raw food - and a place to stay in a beautiful natural environment. The land is huge (just over 100ha). There are several people already set up at their spots or in the process of building but everyone's fairly spread out on the land.

    It would suit people who’re happy with simple living in the heart of nature, who're happy to eat plant based while on the land, and with an environmentally-friendly outlook. Hopefully we'd be able to motivate and learn from each other. It would also suit someone who's keen to experience an environment that's smoke, alcohol and substance free, and you'd be welcome to join a daily mediation/yoga practise. A tent with a mattress and bedding is available but as it’s winter it might also suit you if you have your own van.

    I'm happy to connect with people from different cultures and life experiences, especially those with the open-mindedness that often seems to come with travelling.

    The photos include pictures of the spot before the fire.

    We're an international community in a rural area, about 1.5km from the nearest small village (Pedralva), and 12 km from Vila do Bispo. It's a chance to learn about a plant based lifestyle, off-grid living, permaculture, gardening and to connect more with nature. Moving to the land and learning how to build and create many things from scratch has been a big learning curve for me and I'm happy to share what I can with others. I'm interested in learning more about medicinal plants and herbs and would be happy to share as I'm learning.
    There are many beaches in the area so you'd be able to spend time at the sea, surf and enjoy the beautiful coastline. Outside of the project there are also many people living off grid in the local area; it's attracted people from a number of different countries and is an opportunity to connect with them.

    We're close to the beach - if you have your own transport you can go surfing or to the beach every day, or join when we go. We visit the market in Vila do Bispo regularly and drive to Lagos from time to time. You can explore the land, do yoga (lessons are also given nearby), meditation, spend time in nature, go wild swimming in one of several lakes nearby, hiking or visit other people in the project or living nearby. You could also join if we go to outside events like kirtan.

    The spot's in a valley. I have wifi (via a mifi that's higher up the hill with an antennae directed at it) but for speeds for working you'd probably need to be in a campervan at the top of the hill for phone reception.

    There's a road down the valley to the spot but it might be easiest for campervans to park at the top of the hill (about 300 m) where there's also phone reception.
