Backyard Vin
Sunago is a beautiful house with a big and peaceful garden on the outskirts of Ericeira. It was my first coliving experience and it met all my expectations. David is lovingly managing it, taking care of every possible detail while blending in as an equal part of the community with such chill and positivity. I've shared the dorm with either one or two other people and it worked out just fine. There's a lot of hanging out you can do with others in the house, but one can also easily carve out space for oneself in the big house at any point, even if you're in the dorm. The office is nice and has everything one needs. I did not have a car or bike and I would recommend to have one or the other as it's a 30-40min walk downtown or to the next big grocery store. I used Uber now and then, which is cheap, but was also lucky that everyone else had a car so I could always ask for a ride or join a day trip. But do ask David if he has a bike or two for the house, apparently I was unlucky as they broke before I came to the house. I especially loved picking up lemons in the garden, the hammocks or outdoors oven for pizza making, sitting around the fire place, playing the piano, learning surfing, doing yoga in 10 different spots around the house, sharing the couch, a meal or the dance floor with Sunago's kind, fun and interesting crew, going for meditations at the nearby Buddhist temple and living close to the endless power of the ocean. I'll be definitely coming back ♡
