Description
I moved into my family house in a small village, just off Cartaxo, 3 years ago. Working from home for a company in Lisbon. Mum to 2 crazy puppies and a cuddly kitty. I live a simple lifestyle with the main goal of doing no harm to people, animal and nature and trying to the best of my capabilities to leave the best planet for those who come after me. I am in overall a happy person and I just love a good laugh. I'm mainly looking for help around the garden and fruit orchard, help in decluttering the garage and things like that.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Portuguese born but Kenyan raised, I just love to know and interact with multicultural people reminding me of the lifestyle I was brought up in. I'm bilingual (portuguese and english) but also speak spanish, french and can dabble in italian. Don't mind if you hear some swahili words intertwined in my english phrases ! hahaha!
Help
Need help in the garden and the fruit tree orchard, setting up veggie patches but failing miserably due to lack of time. You can help me with the puppies ... walking, pet sitting.
