Description
Hello.

I am looking for basic help to fix up my two bedroom house on the beautiful beach of Armacao do Pantano do Sul in the south of Florianopolis-SC.

I have been hosted in Europe with workaway , and now I have become a host. I hope to share with you the same experiences I had in Europe, where I was very welcomed.

Please read my full profile as well as the feedbacks and let´s talk.

I hope to hear from you!

Thanks!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The house is in a walking distance (6 minutes) from the beach and there will be plenty of time to enjoy it. Surfing, taking long walks, swimming in the ocean or just relaxing by the beach.

I've been living in Florianopolis for over 20 years and I'll be happy to take the time to talk to you about all the goods in the Island. As well as being very flexible with work hours so you can enjoy your stay here.
Help
I need help with construction repairs, eletric repairs, wood work, painting, etc. As well as cleaning, organising things and taking good care of the house. The work is easy and doesn´t require experience. I basically need a helpful hand. But if you have experience it is even better, I can be your helpful hand then, follow your lead and we can do bigger projects.

Please describe what kind of skills you have and what kind of work would you like to do here.

This host offers a language exchange
I love to practice and learn about any language, as well as sometimes mix them all together and communicate using 3, 4 different languages lol.
Accommodation
The house is very simple, not much comfort but you will have your private room and share the rest of the house with me.

Food will be shared.
At the moment I can not provide food for workawayers, so we will share basic food expenses.

Full kitchen access: you can cook whatever you want at any time you want.

Basic internet access, for text, emails, research. (low data consumption)

Hot/warm shower.

A few surfboards to be shared.
What else ...
I spend sometimes 2-3 days at my mom´s house , during these days you will be alone in the house. We will always organise our schedule as we go, week by week.

I'm currently without a wash machine, therefore clothes have to be washed by hand.

There are a few Gold Tegu lizards that sometimes hang around in the front patio of the house, so if you are not chilled having wild life so near you it is best you search a different host.
A little more information
- Internet access
- Limited internet access
- We have pets
- We are smokers
- Can host families
Can host digital nomads
I don't have cable internet. But I can get a cell phone chip for you with a basic internet plan (30-50GB) for your stay here. We can talk about it in our message exchange if that's the case.
Space for parking camper vans
There's not a parking spot in my land but nearby there are places to park.
Can possibly accept pets
Maybe I can accept pets, tell me about your pet and we'll get to a conclusion.
How many Workawayers can stay?
One
Hours expected
max 15 hours a week (no food provided)

Carolina stayed a short time here with me, but it was enough to see how nice she is. Easy-going and hard-working, she helped me with some concrete work in the laundry room. And she helped a lot cleaning and keeping the house clean. We cooked some good meals and talked a lot, she has a very interesting life story and knowledge, and she's open to… read more

Marcia is a wonderful person, I enjoyed a lot her presence here. She helped me a lot and did beautiful work on the house. She is very easy-going and chill, very independent and hard-working, and full of energy, always ready to move.
Another excellent workaway experience.

Thank you very much for all your help Marcia!

Eduardo is an awesome guy, super welcoming and laid back but at the same time also very passionate about his projects and life philosophy of traveling/cooperative working and cultural exchange. I had a fantastic time at the house helping with his boat project, which we unfortunately couldn't finish but I hope to see pictures of it sailing one day!… read more

Eduardo is a funny guy, got a shock when I first met him as he looks more Irish than I do! Turns out he's 100% Brazilian & had plenty of local & national facts & stories, making a real cultural exchange. Us & the other volunteer shared some nice meals & drinks together, before or after going to the local beach. All round very chill set up,… read more

Slany is a wonderful person, a strong Irish girl. She was feeling sick when she arrived here, but this didn't stop her from getting up and doing some work. I admired this a lot.

I felt my loose schedule and slow pace didn't match much with all her power and willingness to move, but I believe we got along pretty good anyways. We did good work on… read more

Saskia is an amazing person. She is very chill, easygoing, positive and aware. She was very respectful with the house rules and I didn't have to tell her anything twice, sometimes not even once, because she would just see how things work around here and she would do it the same way. So I enjoyed a lot her presence in the house. She helped me… read more

I spend around 2 or 3 weeks with Edu and would have stayed longer if I wouldn't meet a friend. Edu can tell you a lot of interesting or funny stories and it's really easy to hangout and chill with him. We spoke about Brazilian politics and culture (which was really interesting for me) and I like his way of critical or "precise" thinking.
We often… read more

Mario is an excellent workawayer. Very good person, happy, positive, straightforward and hardworker. We did some nice work on the house buinding the structure for a wooden deck, as well as a little bit of painting.
As a guest Mario was great as well. Easygoing, clean and organized.

I am very thankful for his help.
