Help at private home for crafting and quiet in Castanheira de Pera, Portugal

  Descrição

  Hello!
  
  
  Im Liran. 36 years old and have moved to portugal, kind of... about three years ago.
  I bought a house here, which I am slowly discovering is perfect for me, in an area that I am discovering and loving more and more.
  
  Im hoping to make this house a home. For me, for my friends, for travellers- and for creativity and music. A semi-home semi-art-studio semi-place-for-quiet-life.
  
  Before this, I’ve been working with teenagers for 10 years In many teaching positions. (craft, writing, language..) All to find ways to talk and be next to kids while they grow up.
  
  Besides, I travel all year around inbetween friends and homes, and tend to move around too much, in my opinion. Now I also started to study Montessori education in London.
  
  So i´m trying to stay.
  To have a place to come back to.
  to try and build with nature, or without disturbing it.
  To wake up and hear birds,
  Not cars
  or chain saws.
  
  
  I really treasure the quiet, playing music, and going to rivers.
  
  Welcome!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  In the village and area nearby, everything is very local and there is a nice mix between portugueese families and people from around Europe who moved to the area. There will for sure trademen and friends visiting that have experience in life and work for you to hear from and connect with. In your free time you could go to meet locals, walk around in nature or join me and sometimes friends when we hang out or drive somewhere.
  
  we will probably go to visit more friends who have houses around here for you to meet and if interested- to see more how people leave their home and decide to start these projects at their 30s
  
  There is a nice local international pub and there are events or something hapenning most weekends. (ecstatic dance, craft workshop, parties). I go to yoga twice a week, and indoor swimming, sauna usually once a week aswell.
  
  I will make sure to take you around the nature places, which I like visiting myself. If you are interested in learning or participating in any of the creative things I do in my free time, you will be mostly welcome to join, unless said otherwise.
  
  bonus if you are into cuban salsa or crochet!

  Ajuda

  Would love help with specific projects for these months.
  
  First is a tecnique called "pointing"- removing old plaster to expose the original stone walls and renovate and beautify using lime and sand. Beautiful humbling work, looks beautiful, very hardcore work and highly meditative!
  
  Second is a few woodwork projects- library unit, bed, shoe stand, wooden shelf holders (super fun!) and other little wonders. you can learn with me, learn from me or teach me. All depends at which level you and I are.
  
  Sewing and Diy- endless tasks. hanging shelves/plant pots/ macrame/guitar holders, sewing curtains and pillows. Basically- making the house a little more pretty and a little more handy. Loads to learn- drilling, using a sewing machine, hand sewing..
  
  And- the land! Just walking around, making paths, rebuilding stone walls and steps, making hidden corners more wonderous and comfy for spending time there. I find myself losing much time there instead of de-plastering down at the house. Would love the company!
  
  . You can learn how to do many things, or use you skills to do what needs to be done.
  sometimes cooking for us, and mainly supporting and having a positive approach to whatever may come.

  Acomodação

  The house is a mix of pretty, simple and old. I am doing this very slowly. It has 2 floors, but only the top floor is usable right now. My bedroom and the other bedroom are nearly done and are furnihsed, painted and warm. there is a super good fire place that makes the coming winter cozy and warm!
  
  The kitchen is nearly done and fully functioning but still waiting for some things and still pretty basic. I have a wonderful garden and forest that are just wild and gorgeous, a terrace for yoga and pondering, and an inner terrace that is looking better everyday, gets the sun and is great for dancing!
  
  Very warm shower, but not the best looking one.
  
  acommodation in a private small bedroom in the house, with cozy bed. Half of the house will be for your private use, mostly. Or in a big bedroom with a kingsize futon bed if you're a couple.
  Or you can camp in the garden in a very big tent (Best view!)
  
  Shared toilet and shower in a seperate room.
  
  there are public spaces to hang out in the house and around it.
  
  And there is just really incredible view of the mountains! a creek rund close by walking distance, and a river 5 minutes by car.
  
  There is good reception, and wifi from my hotspot.

  Algo mais...

  My house is in a is a little village of old portugueese people (around 30), and me!
  Its 15 minutes walk or 4 minute drive to castanheira de pera, a beautiful tiny town with supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and a lovley river and public wave pool (in summer)
  
  By car :
  
  Poco Corga, Praia das rocas (5 minutes)
  Fragas de São Simão (20 minutes)
  espinhal waterfall (30 minutes)
  lake Cabril (15 minutes)
  
  Closest beach (hour twenty)
  Closest city- coimbra
  
  And just water sources and green all around
  
  There are buses to and from Lisbon. I tend to drive There some weekends.
  
  It is very quiet here, unless leaving the village.
  you need to want or be willing to experience life with little distractions and to have some maturity and the ability to happily spend time on your own.
  Its somewhere to come for quiet time, with nature and space. Not only, but it is important to be comfortable in that.
  
  The house is in very basic condition. some parts are messy and the living conditions are basic, which I find extremely healthy and healing, but its not for everyone. please ask me for more details if you feel that you are not as flexible.
