  • Description

    Description

    Originally from Los Angeles I have a lovely home in the Peneda-Gerês National Park in Northern Portugal. I am doing many small projects at my new home including general cleaning, landscaping, other remodeling-type projects AND I need a cat sitter sometimes. If you like to cook, and/or speak Portuguese that would be a huge benefit!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I immigrated to Portugal 5 years ago - I am an anarchist and not a huge consumer. I am an artist and have experience with social justice activism. There have been many wonderful stories passed between my workaway volunteers and myself that highlight our commonalities and have formed some long term relationships.
