Description
Hi, I’m Carlos 😊
Before i start i should note- My dad does not understand this concept, hence you will be introduced as a friend of mine and you will be treated that way :)
After several years of traveling and exploring the world, I’ve finally returned home to Goa, the place i grew up in. I left in 2018 in search of new experiences, perspectives, and skills — and now I’m back, bringing along with me a new mind set and some crazy energy hehe. My dad moves too slowly with regards to the house and hence Id like to speed up things around here.
Living in a tropical place like Goa is beautiful, but maintaining a home here is a constant, hands-on task. Between the lush greenery, monsoon wear and tear, and general upkeep, there’s always something that needs attention. With my dad getting older, an extra pair of helping hands is truly definitely appreciated.
I also have a few creative ideas for improving the space. No previous experience is required just a good attitude and some self initiative. Ive been a workawayer and so I know the other side. Im flexible with working hours and tasks. I usually eat twice a day and snack in-between. Dad has all three meals 'Goan time'.Theres always food in the house and your more than welcome to cook. There's no real schedule and everyday is different.
We have two loving house dogs just fyi.
so ifs your looking for a place in Goa that isnt a hostel hit me up
