Description
I have a beautiful house in Portuguese mountains and a spare bed. I welcome help around my house, and I can show you beauty of Portuguese countryside in exchange.
I am single and living alone, I’m 30 year old girl who lives with cats. Sometimes help with is cleaning the house, but mostly with taking out the garbage, bringing heavy stuff from cars to the house, changing litter for the cats. These tasks are a bit heavy, so I would suggest that you are not afraid of these tasks!
Sometimes also I would need help with fixing small stuff around the house or cars.
My place is a mountain house located on a hill, with beautiful views from the window on the mountains. The tourist attraction is hiking, trekking and even climbing allowed in close places (via ferrata three minutes driving away). Also, if you go to Pampilhosa da Serra, you can see local museums and river. Other tourism attractions or places such as Covilha, Serra da Estrela or Castelo Branco are less than hour away driving from my place. Sometimes you can drive there with me, but also you can go with bus from Pampilhosa da Serra. Another thing is that if you have driving license, I would suggest cheap car rental, because it creates way more possibilities for you.Types of help and learning opportunities

Around my house you can do trekking and hiking, also climbing (Via Ferrata) is allowed in some places.

I welcome help with handling heavy bags, sometimes cleaning the house. Sometimes some assistance with fixing small house issues, or some small things with cars (like charging battery or wheel in case of flat tyre, nothing special), or changing litter box since it’s heavy task to do.

I have free bed in one room. I will provide you food. You cannot be allergic to cats, because I’ve got 8 indoor cats.
What else ...
Transport-I can take you from Pampilhosa da Serra, or Castelo Branco. You don’t have public transport from my place, for that you have to drive with me to Pampilhosa (if you don’t have your own car), or take a taxi (10 euros during the daytime). From Pampilhosa you have buses going to Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra and other cities for cheap price (around 17 euros).
