    Hey Workawayers! Welcome to my profile. 😊

    Help me finish renovating a traditional farm house with a big garden and forest (two wells) and upcoming vegetable garden in Central Portugal!

    My name is Laura, I am 57 years (young) and from Germany. I have bought a beautiful old farmland of 12,000 m² (own forest) with two wells, a large stone house plus annex and two little ruins in the center of Portugal (between Tomar and Ferreira do Zêzere) that is almost completely renovated to a modern standard. Even though I have (had) professional building companies there still some DIY things left to make it a cosy home. 💚

    Having been a Workawayer for one year of travel around the world a few years ago myself I now would appreciate some help with my own project (for details see below). 🙏

    Enjoy the quiet and the nature! Enjoy a good flow of energy in the house, garden and own forest. 🌟 You might get your hands (and clothes) dirty though...

    Dedicated and independent volunteers with various skills around the house and gardening, willing to take over little projects or volunteers with positive feedback are preferred...

    >> Please refer to the help offered when contacting (see actual list below)! <<

    For longer stays there will be a one-week-trial-period to see if it matches for both sides.

    ♡=> You don't have to be vaccinated! <=♡

    Hoping to hear from you soon! 🙏

    You will get to know this nice and quite area and landscape with healthy maritime climate and the smell of eucalyptus, singing birds, much space, good flow of energy, lots of sun ...
    Also Ithere is a growing community of foreigners and locals that are connecting quickly (we have swap markets, circles, workshops, movie nights and parties). So no need to stay all by yourselves...

    => Please note that my place is in a rural area with farms and agriculture! The next bus stop is a 15-minute-walk away, the bus to Ferreira do Zêzere runs once a day... Two bikes are available.

    You should bring enough to read (I have a German and English library though - prose, self-development and garden helpers) or whatever you need to feel comfortable away from the institutions and consumption of modern society. At times I am very busy running this project, too.

    I have a guitar that waits to be played as well. Also a roll piano.
    And I like to sing - sing along with me!
    If you are into rhythm: My percussion department has grown (bongos, cajon, djembe, shakers, cabasa, tambourines, castanets) - let's jam together!

    => Good boots or even rubber boots are highly recommended outside the summer (I can provide size 38, 42 and 43). Also house shoes are very useful unless you want to walk barefoot...

    I kindly ask for help of 5 hours per day, 5 days a week (or equivalent as the tasks might vary due to necessity and available helpers). 🙏
    Cooking, doing the dishes and keeping our living and sleeping areas clean are shared.

    Please note that at times I have to work remotely to keep the project going and I am also quite busy with all the sideworks of the project. Be prepared to spend some time alone or with the other helpers. :-)

    I definitely want to learn Portugese some day... and an introduction into Sanskrit would be wonderful. I can share my German (mother tongue) and good English language skills with you!

  • Acomodação

    Acomodação

    There are four bedrooms (single and double) for you to use in the main house.
    Besides the complete modern kitchen indoors (see pic) I have a nice and protected shady, non-windy dining area in the 'gemuetlich' yard that I like to use during the warmer seasons, it has a kitchen stove and a BBQ and also a huge movie screen.

    OWN EQUIPMENT
    Of course you can bring your own tent (there are two platforms in the garden to use) or your own camper.

    CARAVAN
    Sometimes I offer my private caravan (bunk beds plus convertible dining area) that is in the garden at a very beautiful and "gemuetlich" spot.

    * Yoga and meditation *
    There are two yoga platforms with a great and calming view waiting to be used. (Let's do this together.)
    I can offer massages there as well.

    * Bikes *
    Two bikes are waiting to be taken for a ride, including helmets and bike bags if wanted.

    >> Sorry, no pets accepted! Dogs must stay outside.

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    My property is nearby FERREIRA DO ZÊZERE (Santarém) in the center of Portugal.

    The next bus stop (to Ferreira do Zêzere on request) is within walking distance (service once a day only though).

    Ferreira do Zêzere (nice little town with a lot of cafés and a weekly markets, public bus to Lisbon, public and free indoor pool) is a 10-minute-drive away, around 5 km to walk or bike, I can usually take you and pick you up to/from there when you are arriving.

    The beautiful LAKE CASTELO DE BODE/ZÊZERE (where you can do all kinds of watersports) is about 20 minutes away, also quite a few reservoirs and beautiful river beaches.

    TOMAR (old Knights Templar city) is a 20-minutes-drive (I go there once a week or so for errands). I can usually take you and pick you up to/from there when you are arriving.

    LISBON (vivid city with a lot of historic buildings and culture, next airport) 1.5 hours by car (toll highway), very good access via train and bus.

    PORTO (also airport) can be reached within 2.5 hours by car.

    Famous cities in the area are also COIMBRA (students) and FÁTIMA (history and religion).

    The Portuguese ROAD TO SANTIAGO (hiking) is about 15 minutes from my farm.

    Also there are quite a few ROCK CLIMBING spots within a 1-hour-drive (let me join you if there is a time gap on my side).

    And of course the ATLANTIC OCEAN for the BEACH and SURFING (at about 1+ hour by car ) and SWIMMING for the harder ones!

    My big garden invites you also to just be, breathe, dream a day dream, read a book, listen to the birds and cicadas, have a yoga session... :-)

    > There is enough space for parking a car / camper.

    MEALS: As I prefer local vegetables I usually don't eat meat - but could cook it for you every once in a while. I can offer strict vegetarian food (vegan and Keto diets are usually not offered).

    WIFI.
    SUMMER OPEN AIR MOVIE series in the yard with a nice community, also DANCING PARTIES and MOON RITUALS.

    Sorry, no WhatsApp...
