    Description

    Hello lovely people,

    My name is Yasmin (31) and I live on a beautiful remote island, surrounded by magical forests and the untamed ocean.

    I live a Guided life and I develop energetic treatments and spiritual retreats.

    I'm originally from the Netherlands and I moved to Terceira three years ago.
    Moving to Terceira was a very important step in my life, and I'm loving it every day ♥️

    When I travel I like to invite someone to stay in my house and take care of my cats.
    That way my cats have company and I can offer someone a fantastic stay on Terceira.

    I take very good care of my home; I'm very clean, very careful with my things, and I treat my cats gently.
    I ask the same from my house sitter.

    From 13-24 June 2026 I will be traveling and I'd like to invite one person or a couple to stay in my house during that period.

    I'm looking for a non-smoker, preferably a non-drinker too but that's no requirement. A drivers license comes in handy, since there's not much public transport on the island.
    You can probably use my car during your stay.
