Beschreibung
Hi, my name is Giedre and I'm 28 years old. I have always had a love for traveling and a desire to explore the world and have been travelling around since August 2024.

I'm originally from Lithuania but have lived in the UK for the last 9 years. I've worked in a hospitality sector and studied at a university.

I love the great outdoors, particularly foraging and learning about mushrooms and plants, as well as walking, hiking, and exploring off-the-beaten-track places. I am quite a handy and crafty person, always trying to fix things myself first.

I'm looking for different experiences and I'm quite flexible. Currently, travelling by car in Portugal!

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I have a solid background in the hospitality and hotel industry, where I've spent the last few years working on both the admin and operational sides. This experience has given me a good understanding of how to keep things running smoothly.

I'm also a hardworking and practical person who loves finding ways to improve things. I’ve tackled various DIY projects like painting walls and redecorating old furniture. Being strong and fit helps me handle physical tasks with ease.

In my free time, I enjoy foraging for edible mushrooms and plants, and I’m always eager to learn more about them. Growing up in Lithuania, I was surrounded by my grandmas and aunties who were always growing things, and I never shied away from helping them. This upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature and hands-on work.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Join us building a paradise ...)

My experience at Evelien and Laurence’s place was truly life-changing in the best possible way. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better first Workaway experience. Perhaps that’s why it took me so long to write this feedback—I wanted to do it justice. In the end, I stayed at this magical quinta for almost three months.

I honestly don’t know where to… read more begin. Evelien and Laurence are such wonderful people—welcoming, relaxed, kind, generous, and incredibly driven. Their son, Reza, is the sweetest little boy, adored by so many! And, of course, I can’t forget my favorite trio, the Three Musketeers—their crazy and lovable dogs—and the two beautiful terrace cats. They have also built an amazing community around them; every single person I met was friendly and caring. I absolutely loved my time there. It’s a truly special home, and I feel so privileged to have been part of life on the quinta. I miss everyone so much!

During my stay, I had the chance to take on a variety of tasks. I prepared group lunches, tended to the garden by sowing seeds, weeding, planting seedlings, and doing some light landscaping. I also house-sat for a week while they were away, taking care of the pets—especially Roxy, the eldest dog, who needed her medicine twice a day. Since the school was under construction, I even got to try my hand at some building tasks—cleaning and oiling wooden beams, working on scaffolding, lime-washing walls, and helping mix cement for the floor. I also sanded and primed furniture, painted the floor, pressure-washed the patio, and did general cleaning and tidying up. There was always something different to do, and often, I could choose tasks depending on ongoing projects and priorities.

Beyond the work, I fell in love with the stunning natural surroundings. The views from the hilltop where the house sits are absolutely breathtaking. There’s a peaceful river beach down the hill, and the nearby city of Tomar was charming and cozy—I really enjoyed exploring it.

Honestly, even this long message doesn’t fully capture my experience and the emotions tied to it. But I hope it conveys just how special this place is, how wonderful the people are, and how worthwhile it is to be part of their vision—creating a home and beautiful spaces on the land.

I’m so grateful to call these people my friends and can’t wait to return, hopefully soon! Wishing Evelien, Laurence, and little Reza all the best!

Giedre is an amazing person and anyone that has the opportunity to host her, is very lucky!

She came initially to our place to stay for a month, but we all decided soon enough that she could stay as long as she wanted. She became big friends with our son and ALL our animals, especially Pluis (and Shamba <3 ) and we all became very fond of her.
