Handy Helper for Our Off-Grid Village (Passing Through, 3h)
The experience
Hi, I'm Hels. Myoho Valley is a hand-built, off-grid village in central Portugal, and there's always something to fix or build. Stay a couple of weeks and lend a hand with small repairs, carpentry, painting and odd jobs around our earth towers and cabins. A lighter 3h role, great if you're handy and want slow days, good people and nature between your travels.
