Beschreibung

Hey, my name is Ana and I'm from Portugal! I'm currently 32 years old and I live in Iceland.

I graduated in Journalism from university in 2013, then proceeded to work as a press officer for 5 years in Lisbon, and was mainly involved in promoting music and cultural projects. As I was developing a steady career, it dawned on me that I didn't have enough experience of the world to settle down just yet. In 2019, I decided to move to Iceland (literally to the middle of nowhere!) and start a new, slow-paced life in a totaly different environment and line of work.
It was after this move that I developed a strong need to (ex)change places, cultures, languages and habits any time possible! Even though I have been based in a small (really small) village in Iceland for some time, I've been traveling so much and meeting so many amazing people from around the world that I've decided to change my base again.

I grew up in a small town in Portugal, surrounded by nature and blessed by great weather, but that doesn't mean that it's hard for me to adapt to more adverse conditions (Iceland taught me well). I always loved being outside, either hiking, playing sports, or hanging around with friends. But really, what I always loved to do is making people laugh! Sense of humor is very important to me and I consider this one the greatest tools I carry with me everywhere I go.

As years went by, I realized that what brings me the most joy is being at service of people, may they be strangers or familiars, so that motivated me to join the Workaway community, where I can combine the pleasure of traveling, acts of service and exchanging knowledge.

For the past 4 years I had the privilege of exploring one of the most beautiful countries in the world while keeping a steady job in the hospitality/tourism industry, so I hope I can do the same in a different country.

Was könntest du arbeiten?

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and a Post-graduate in Communication Sciences.

I worked as a press officer for 5 years, so I have experience in communications with press, writing, editing and creating content.


During the last 4 years, since I moved to Iceland, I started working in an hotel, in housekeeping, then moving to breakfast and kitchen prep. The owners of the hotel also own a gas station situated just across the road from the hotel, where I have been working for the past couple of years as a cook. It's a canteen-style rest stop, with restaurant and small convenience store. It was here that I developed my interest in cooking and provide service to people.
With no previous kitchen/cooking experience, I managed to learn and adapt quickly. I'm always eager to know more on any subject and I know this experience will help.

My professional path has always been intertwined with strong organisational skills and efficient working manner, so I'm always hoping to contribute to the environment I'm in!
