Travelling
My next destination:
Argentina - from Apr 2024 until May 2024 View allDescription
I'm Joa, portuguese solo traveller. After many years of a pretty conventional life and a hard time, I've decided to go out there and find something different or just have an amazing time whilst looking..!
I'm a horse veterinarian and a nature lover with a great love for travel planning and hospitality in general.
I'm a positive person, I take care of others before anything else, love people (maybe animals a bit more) and will go the extra mile with my responsibilities.
My long term goal is to find a job that I actually look forward to work hard at. In the meantime, I'm working as a vet in Europe for 6 months and travelling the rest :)
Obvious happiness comes from travelling, being close to the ocean, dancing, beeing with my nieces, music, nature, food, red wine and good coffee (simple stuff). Secret pleasure comes from any planning/ organizing, turning chaos into order, and ideally sharing all of the above with other people, best friends to strangers, even though I'm a very happy solo traveler.Interests

By training, I'm a veterinarian and my main experience is with horses in the UK. Lately I've been learning a lot about latin america's wildlife following wildlife vets at different rescue centers, from the amazon rainforest in Ecuador to feeding baby sloths in Costa Rica.
I usually end up taking management or coordinator roles as well because I truly love planning/organising.
I also love working with children, maybe I'm just missing my nieces too much. I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer at a local Kichwa comunity school in the Amazon with small children.
I'm quite good with technology although not an expert on social media :)Age
