Detalhes
Descrição
I'm Robert, I have a background in engineering and love travelling, languages & natural living.
I'm building an Eco-village in the beautiful Lebanon mountains within a larger tourist resort to allow visitors to live, learn, grow and build in a more ecologically sustainable way.
During 2025 we will be constructing a new strawbale building (Multi-function space - The Nest) using mainly local & natural or recycled materials and also maintaining our permaculture Garden. More details below...
Come join us to learn and build together!
