Experience off-grid life in central Portugal

Infos

  Description

  Hi! My name is Kaegh. I am 36 and have recently bought an off-grid quinta in central Portugal. It is a lovely property and I live here with my animals and have a lot of projects that I would like to acheive.
  
  It is fully off-grid, so water comes from a well, electrcity from solar power and heating from wood or gas tanks.
  
  It is a quinta near a village and in between Olivera do Hospital and Tabua. There are lots of local activities and things to do outside of the quinta.
  
  I am looking for motivated and capable people to come help me with landscaping, gardening, diy and animal care - also to exchange ideas and learn from each other.
  
  If that sounds like something you are interested in please send me a message!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I am half Colombian and half English and speak Spanish, English, French, portuguese and Dutch.
  
  I also trained as an architect and have a lot of experience in off-grid technologies and building/woodworking. I have a big well equiped workshop with planty of tools to try out and work with.
  
  This is also a large land when there is a lot of potential to learn and experiment with gardening, water managment and forest managment.
  
  I also love cooking, music, movies and adventures - so there is always the potential to try something new and learn!

  Initially a small canvas tent, but then a larger geodome or yurt that we have stored but needs to be put up. We also have a nice shared outdoor compost toilet and hot shower. And a common building with living space and kitchen.
