Description
My name is Julia I'm Dutch and I live with my amazing dog and two cats near Sao Luis in a small beautiful countryside village, 20 min from the beach of Vila nova de Milfontes.
This part of the coast has amazing and quite beaches that I love to go with the dog and I can take you there.
Because of covid everything changed positive in my life, I lost my job as a festival producer and now my house is my 'festival' and focus.
Next summer I hope to have a small exhibition in my garden from a local visual artist to support artists in the neighbourhood.
I think out of the box and love creative solutions and quite handy myself.
I like good sense of humor, music, food, talks, walking the dog in nature, glas of wine,
I'm looking for fun and pro active people, that I can show the life here in Alentejo, where I live time stood still.
You still see the Shepheard with the goats coming to my 'village' having a beer at the Tasca while his animals eat the grass in front of it, Farmers on tractors and everything that includes the life in the country side.
If you just want to be on your phone and take selfies the whole day then we are not a match.
I will always respond to your message but I found out that 80% of the people never respond back... so if that's you please don't write me.
From now on until 3rd of June I'm lookin for:
# Painting from wooden utensils, chairs to the house and everything in between ;-)
# Gardenwork!!!
# Cleaning around and painting the house just help me make things beautiful for summer
P.S. My calendar is up to date so please don't reach out to me for the months that it is closed.

Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux
We always can talk about pets because I love animals, I live in countryside and my neighbours have chicken, goats, pigs, cows etc So we have to be sure the animal isn't chasing them and I have a lovely but sometimes bitchy 12 years old female shepherd that doesn't go well with some female dogs, but most times its all about introducing them well and understand why.

She applied in a time that I was not really looking for a volunteer but reading her profile made me think I could use some help in the garden not over seeing what really needed to be done!

What a heart-warming woman she is!
Warm, direct, hard working and super social and involved with both the Portuguese community and the new Portuguese who live here.
In addition to hard work, it was a joy to be fully introduced into her circle of friends.
Laughed a lot at the sharp humor😀.
