    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Ofcourse depending on the nationality of the Workawayer … but even with a Dutch Workawayer ( and me being Dutch) there is lots of culture to be found & experienced in and around Tavira.. As I mentioned before, I have many yrs. of experience working with wwoofers and workawayers from many different countries , in agricultural projects.
    Now it is a different setting but interesting enough for both host and Workawayer.
    I live on my own but often have guests ( people and / or dogs) .

    Hi, I am Doreen, Dutch, 69 , living in Portugal for the past 25 yrs. I speak, ….dutch, English, French and Portuguese ( although for the help I am looking for I prefer to welcome a Dutch or English speak8ng workawayer.).
    For 20 yrs. i lived in the portuguese countryside where i have welcomed many a Workawayer and Wwoofer.

    Now I live in the coastal town of Tavira, in the eastern part of the Algarve. A beautiful town and surrounding nature. You don’t’ need transport to go to the beach. Also there is a bus & train station eg. to go to Faro or Vila Real de San Antonio on the spanish border.
    You would have your own room and bathroom in a very comfortable newly built house 4 min.
    walk from the centre of Town .

    The kind of help I am looking for requires a minimum of 1 week , and it’s all computer stuff but mostly showing me how to make short movies with sound& music. It is something I did for many yrs. but stopped about 8 yrs. ago ; Now all is different.

    I hope a kind person with a bit of patience. who knows all about that kind of ‘ work’ would enjoy a week in the fall or winter ( between mid- September and- mid December) in the sun.
