    Description

    We invite you to join us in the beautiful surroundings of Sao Jorge. Our home is a blend of Azorean charm and North American comfort.

    As new Workaway hosts, we are excited to open our doors to travelers looking to explore this stunning island while lending a hand with various construction projects around our property. We're seeking individuals who can contribute to tasks such as painting, weed trimming, gardening, minor electrical work, and concrete and stone work.

    For Workawayers interested in going beyond the volunteering hours, we offer compensation for additional hours worked.

    If you're passionate about construction, outdoor work and are excited about the prospect of living in a Azorean setting, we'd be thrilled to have you join us. Let’s collaborate and make the most of your stay here in the Azores!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Diving into a cultural exchange in the heart of the Azores is a journey of mutual discovery and enrichment. Here, amidst the vibrant heritage of our island, Workawayers can immerse themselves in the unique traditions and tales that define us.

    While we're keen to share the beauty of Azorean culture and the nuances of the Portuguese language, we're equally excited to learn from the diverse experiences and backgrounds our guests bring. Every day promises shared stories, insights, and adventures.

    We offer not just a place to stay but a home filled with warmth, comfort, and genuine interaction. Workawayers will have opportunities to engage in various activities, from understanding local customs to experiencing the daily rhythms of Azorean life.

    For those eager to blend their cultural narratives with ours, we extend a warm welcome. Let's craft memories and learn together!
