Beschreibung
My name is Gustavo and i live with my wife and our 6 cat’s in the city of Niterói, just 30 minuts from Rio downtown.
I grew up in a small beach city, 2 hours far from Rio, and i’m a surfing entusiast and a person with a deep connection with the Ocean.
I love animals, sports, be in the nature and share new experiences with people from all around the world.
I’m a former swimmer and kiteboarding/kitesurfing instructor and now i work as a physical education and sports teacher in public secondary schools. My wife is psycologist and she works on a university, but she is also sports psycologist. She love’s animals, to do some cultural programs, a good cofee, she also love sports and did some capoeira a few years ago, but she don't practice it anymore.

We both love to travel and we usualy use couchsurfing and/or contact our friends to stay with local people and share culture and knowledges.

UNFORTUNATELLY, AT THIS MOMENT WE ARE NOT ACEPTING GUESTS, BECAUSE OF SOME HEALTH PROBLEMS ON OUR FAMILY, so, only send us a msg if you can see the green color on our schedule !!!!!

WHEN LIFE COME BACK TO NORMAL, will be amazing to have workawayers here again !!!!

We hosted some travelers from a lot of countries last years and we loved, so, be with people and help each other it’s what we are looking for on workaway.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAY THAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR FREE WORK OR SOMEONE TO WORK FOR US, the most important here is to exchange, help each other and make new friends. But WE NEED HELP WITH THE HOUSE TASKS, so, cleaning the house, take care of the cat´s and cook are are daily tasks that we often need help.
We would also love some help with language learning, and other skills that you can share with us, but the most important is to have the same spirit then us.

Our apartmente in located on a welll located neigboorhood, and we have an extra room that we usualy use as a home ofice, but will be changed in a room for the workawayer.

It’s realy important to love animals and don’t be alergic if you come to stay with us, because we have 6 cat’s and we love then as our family members.
My wife is vegan but i eat meat, so if she cooks for everybody will be vegan meal, if i cook we will have both options, and of course you can cook too.

I love sports and outdoor life, but, i’m not doing this too much at this moment, because i spend a lot of time for work and my studies, so If we can do some sports togheter will be awesome and a motivation for myself.

Arbeit
Our main interests are help in the house, cook and language learnig.

If you are slovene or you speaks slovene wil be a plu, because i (Gustavo) have an especial conection with Slovenia and Slovenian language.
I am also a big fan o Japan and would love to learn some japonese and more about japanese culture.

We also looks to learn french (my wife speaks a litle and i did some french course 10 years ago), spanish (i learned a litle on my travels), japanese and italian (we dont know nothing, but would love to learn).

I dont like to program "hard schedules" but if you prefer like that, we can do it !
The reasons are:
1) About the house tasks, we can talk when you arrive and like a family member you will have your tasks to care of the house and our (this include you) daily life.
2) About language classes and other skills taht you can teache us, we belive that this will happens not only with formal classes, but staying with us, visiting places around Rio and with the time togheter, of course some times “classes” will be needed, but we believe that if you stay with us and use your language ,this will help us a lot.

Aniway, the house diary tasks and the help with language learning will be something about 3-4 hours/day and we will plan the days of our classes acording to our work schedule, in the other days you are free to do you what you want, and we will have pleasure to show you our favorite places and even travel togheter to other places if we can.
The house tasks consist in take care of the cat’s , cleaning the house, cook, wash the dishes, and any maintenances needed, this is not a workawayer job but the duty of all people in the house, so this will be divided between all of us.
