I would like to welcome you to our forum.
The purpose of this forum is to bring together all the off gridders, the self sufficient, the back to landers and permaculturists in Portugal so we can share ideas, help each other, form friendships and basically build a mutual support group for people living an appropriate, low impact life in Portugal.
It will be a place where we can talk about growing vegetables, looking after chickens, learning the language, brewing beer, importing a vehicle, earning a living, home schooling, building a house, permaculture, off grid systems, planning laws, harvesting water, storing water, healthcare, alternative fuels and a whole host of other subjects connected to low impact living in Portugal.
It will also be a place for people who would like to move to Portugal to live a sustainable life to find out what it is like to live in Portugal and how to go about moving there. Moving to a foreign land can be daunting but if you already know people through this forum who can help with the language and the paperwork or just offer a hug and a beer it will be a lot easier.
There are going to be very few rules on this site. It is an adult site and as such I expect some swearing and discussions with an adult theme. Initially it will not really be a site suitable for children but if there is a need we can always add a children's area.
It is though a public forum so only discuss topics you would discuss openly in a public arena. We don't really want discussions about illegal activities
Advertising on this forum will be and the admins discretion. If an active and I mean active member wants to advertise a product or service that is beneficial to the members of the forum then we will work something out.
The rest of it we will work out as we go along. As we grow I will be asking for additional admin staff and moderators. Ultimately I want this site owned and run by it's member so no single member -including me- can have a brain fart and close it down
cheers
