Program Details
I speak English, German and Dutch. I live off-grid and I have hot shower and solar power. There are rooms and a caravan to stay. There is water and electricity available if you come with a camper.
Besides helping with the land and looking after and homeschooling my two young daughters every other week, I work a few hours online as a coach and psychologist and build yurts and domes once in a while. I traveled a lot and I am interested in different cultures, music, and sustainable building and meeting like-minded people.
In case you'll arrive with public transport, I'll pick you up in Portalegre.
