Household tasks and pet care on Itaparica Island, Bahia, Brazil

  Description

  Hey there! I’m a 52-year-old Spanish chica who’s been soaking up the Brazilian sun for 17 years now. I’ve got this sweet crib right by the beach in a chill fisherman’s spot on Itaparica Island. Living the dream with my old pup Lola and my duo of cool cats, Lua and Noche.
  
  I rent out a couple of chill suites in my place, either through apps or directly. It’s a cozy setup—just two rooms where I host a max of 5 ppl. Kitchen’s all yours if you fancy whipping up some grub.
  
  This place isn’t just my home; it’s my hustle. I do some remote gigs in marketing and communications on the side. I’m a hands-on kinda gal—I've learned to do it all, from fixing walls to artsy crafts. I’m looking for folks ready to dive in and get their hands dirty. If you bring some cool skills, you’re more than welcome! Portuguese speakers get bonus points."

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The island of Itaparica is a real native place, plenty of wild beaches, in a natural environment where local culture of the most ancient and African sources is still alive. We share experiences and lifetime with locals living live as it used to be long time ago. In autum and winter is very very quiet. Maybe you are not capable of being so lonely and isolated?

  Help

  Looking for 1 or 2 workawayers to lend a hand painting my house walls for a week or two in the mornings. You'll have free afternoons and evenings to explore. I'll provide cozy accommodation in my B&B rooms, breakfast included, plus full kitchen access anytime you need it.
  
  I also need a hand with general house tasks (cleaning, gardening, fixes) and pet sitting while I'm away for a bit.
  
  Hey, any carpenters or eco-builders out there? I'm planning to switch up a fence using eucalyptus and would love to tackle it myself with a little assistance!

  Accommodation

  The volunteers will stay in a room that I usually rent out to guests. Since the guest house is closed for winter, it's available. I'll provide breakfast, and they'll have access to a full kitchen to cook whatever they fancy.
  However, depending on skills, tasks at hand, and availability, I'm open to discussing personalized plans for each situation
