Description
Hi I am Scottish but have not lived there for nearly 30 years. I now live in Sao Bras de Alportel Algarve Portugal - via a few places in France to get here :) This is a fabulous Portuguese town with everything you could need - daily market, most major large shops, bio shops the list goes on.
I am going to be travelling - all things working in my favour :) - from mid October for at least six months. I need a flexible single person or couple, this position is not suitable for children of any age or your own animal. I have three dogs 23 kg 26kg and 37 kg- Nico Hannah and Leia. They need walking once a day, in the wet months the garden will need weeding and the pool will need cleaning once a week - none of this anywhere near the hours mentioned by Workaway.
In return I offer - all expenses paid for - a Studio with excellent bed, fitted kitchen area, bedsettee, shower and reversable aircon and of course the ever important fibre WiFi. Please contact me if interested for more info and pics

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Portuguese town rich in its' own culture with many local events and a specialist museum showing the history of the town and surrounding area. They will walk in the Natural Park which is reached by walking out of my front door. It will teach them independance if that is the age they are at - with a strong network of helpers ready to be there at a moments notice. I am going travelling myself and want someone to look after the dogs and garden whilst I am gone.
Help
Oh they tell you to write War and Peace then break in down. I need the dogs walked once a day, in the wet season the weeds picked. The pool cleaned once a week - easy tasks if you have not done it before I will give tuition and leave written instructions
