Description
Hi all,
We are looking for a helper at our beautiful guesthouse,
We are looking for someone who likes to do housekeeping and is passionate about meeting new people everyday :)
The guest house is small and wonderful, comprised of 4 private rooms, all together 10 guests max.
We are located at Portugal's Surf Capital, a rural area on the beach which is for me the greatest place to live in.
If you surf or want to learn how to surf, if you enjoy beach towns, cleaning and accommodating guests, this is the place for you.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
YarivTypes of help and learning opportunities
