Help with cleaning and gardening
The experience
Lovely walks, three cafes within walking distance and on the bus routes. :)
I'm in a little village just outside Lagos. 6 minute drive to the beach!
Multiple beautiful beaches surround us as well as countryside and woodland.
I live with my two young children (5 and 8 years), our dog, cats and our chickens.
I have an off grid tent for one person or a couple.
I am looking for help cleaning the house, gardening and some DIY

Program Details
I have a lovely off grid glamping area specifically for volunteer use. There is a large tent with proper double bed, sofa and dining table.
There is an off grid toilet and sink on the same level. Further up is a solar shower and there is a small kitchenette area with fridge freezer, sink, toaster and kettle.
I have about 3 acres so there is always stuff to do in the garden. I am on a hill so it keeps you fit going up and down. :-)
Activities & Shift
The work is varied, I am flexible with hours/days.
There may be some days/jobs that need doing at certain times, but helping hours are generally flexible and you’re not tied to certain times each day or even working every day. It is possible to stay here and have another job.
There’s lots to do in your free time and it’s best to have a car. Visit the fort in Sagres, wander the mountains of monchique or just head to Lagos and explore town a little.
Rules
There is no smoking allowed any where on the property
