The Experience

We are at the beginning of our project and we are very open to people joining us long term, but if you help us to just do basic things like harvest and cook then we would already be very greatful for that! We have lots of fruit and nut trees and much of it currently goes to waste because we are too busy with building infrastructure. Our goats need head scratches between the horns and our cat Chitta always needs more cuddles.

Staying with Matin was a unique experience! We learnt so much from him about permaculture. Matin has a genuine love for Portugal and he is so motivated to help this country fight fires using permaculture! Plus, he was super welcoming, open & always kind!!! Also, our tasks were very manageable. The house's organization & housekeeping style is different than what we are used to, but what this experience lacked in structure & tidiness, it made up for in a wholesome, autonomous & relaxing atmosphere where you truly felt like you're part of something special! Thank you Matin!
