Yes, back here now but currently still in observer mode - no clear plan has yet revealed itself.
Atmanna looks like the kind of place I would consider visiting/volunteering (work x-changing :). Dunno if/when/how etc, and I would have Flame (my dog) with me......I will keep this in mind however, thanks for mentioning it!
I intend to post about my 9-month experience in a tent and on various voluntary 'communal' spaces in Portugal.
