  Description

  Hi! My name is Vitor, I’m half Portuguese and Spanish. Lived abroad for over 40 years – Germany, Netherlands, France, UK, Brazil, USA, Lithuania, Italy. Used to be a ballet dancer, worked in fashion for many years, then aviation as a flight attendant. Back in Portugal since covid hit.
  I live in a beautiful quiet area in the countryside between São Miguel and Odeceixe on the Alentejo coast. My two kids are here with me 🦜🦜 Pipoo and Chico (Cockatiels). They’re great companions and fly around freely when I’m home.
  I’m calm, organised and open-minded. Love spending time at my beautiful naturist beach at Adegas when I can.
  We’ve been here since October 2025, and I’m looking for an extra pair of hands for light tasks around the property—such as basic DIY, minor touch-ups, light general maintenance, and helping out in the garden. I run my own event business which keeps me busy, so I'm looking for someone who can work comfortably on their own after we go over the day's goals together.
  Help is strictly limited to a few light hours in the morning, leaving your afternoons and evenings completely free to relax, hit the beach, or explore the Alentejo coast. In exchange, I provide full accommodation and 3 meals a day, along with plenty of shared stories and local tips.
  Looking for someone respectful who’s comfortable in an LGBT-friendly environment. Most important: be very careful and respectful around my birds and their space. Happy to explain all the rules.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Having lived abroad for many years, I have a very broad perspective and mindset, not just an atypical Portuguese one. I think we can both learn from and teach each other.
  
  Tendo vivido muitos anos no estrangeiro tenho uma visão e mentalidade muito vasta e não só atípica portuguesa. Penso que ambos os lados podemos aprender e ensinar

  Help

  The idea is to help me for about half a day with cleaning and organising heavy items. The schedule can be flexible, we can arrange it according to the weather or your plans for going out. In exchange, I offer a private room and food. We can agree whether you prefer to cook your own meals or if we share some. I use a food processor and electric stove to avoid any danger to my 🦜🦜 gremlins.
  I would like someone with whom we can also exchange ideas, talk, go out, and not just someone who does their tasks and there is no communication for that, so I prefer not to have anyone here at home.
  
  A ideia é ajudar-me cerca de meio dia com as limpezas e a organização das coisas pesadas. O horário pode ser flexível, combinamos conforme o tempo ou os teus planos para passear. Em troca, ofereço um quarto privado e comida. Podemos combinar se preferes cozinhar as tuas refeições ou se partilhamos algumas. Uso robot de cozinha e fogão eléctrico para evitar algum perigo para os meus 🦜🦜 gremlins.
  Gostaria de alguém com quem também possamos trocar de ideias, falar, passear e não só alguém que faça as suas tarefas e não haja comunicação para isso então prefiro não ter ninguém aqui em casa.

  My German and Dutch got very rusty so I would be happy to exercise those languages again, if not, why not learning new languages?

  Accommodation

  You have your own private room, the bathroom etc. is shared, there is wifi, TV box.
  
  For meals, I’m happy to provide 3 meals a day. But I suggest that we go to make groceries together so you can choose the things you like to eat in case we have different tastes. However, I live simple life and don’t buy expensive things, so I expect the same from you. We can have all basic ingredients available for breakfast and lunch, and we can figure out dinner as we go, either cooking together or independently.
  I’m very easy going, I don’t eat spicy. But with a good communication everything is possible. In life there’s always solutions ;
  
  Tens o teu quarto individual , casa de banho etc é partilhado, tens wifi, TV box
