This was my first Workaway experience and I thought it was amazing! I was there less than two weeks and felt like part of the family by the time I left. Pepe is very warm and welcoming and gives a great guide to his city! Antonio is a sweet and active young boy. I really felt I got to know the real Portugal through working with this family, and it… read more

Pepe and Antonio really made me feel like a part of the family. They were so welcoming, easy to get along with and open hearted. Also Pepe took me everywhere, so I met a lot of family members and friends.
It was not really feeling like working for them. The only tasks where cooking and sometimes having a look on Antonio when Pepe is in one of his… read more

I stayed with Pepe for four weeks. Pepe has a lovely home in the center of Guimarães, you get your own room with single bed on 3rd floor.
Pepe is doing a bullet point list of requirements. It was very easy and relaxed experience, once I knew what was expected.
My basic routine was lunch Monday to Wednesday for roughly 1pm. Could also be other… read more

For my first workaway experience I spent 2 weeks at Pepe's house and it was very nice!
Antonio is a sweet boy, I loved play with him and even I don't speak Portuguese it was simple to communicate: the language is not a barrier!
My principal works were to cook and keep tidy the house, so it's very light! I'm not an excellent cooker but I tried new… read more

Guimaraes es un lugar fantástico, lleno de lugares bellos para descubrir caminando. La casa de Pepe puede ser el mejor lugar de la ciudad, desde el primer momento te hacen sentir parte de la familia, afortunadamente hablan muy bien el español. En mi estadía aprendí muchas cosas y pasé momentos grandiosos en la conversación con Pepe y sus amigos.… read more

I only spent two and a half week in Guimarães, but I would happily recommend it to anyone.
Pepe is a really interesting host and is always kind and helpful. The whole experience was a bit like a vacation. Even though I don't speak Portuguese it was really easy to build a connection with Antonio. He is a lovely kid. Energetic, intelligent and… read more

For sure, you would love to stay longer with Pepe after you meet him. Because that's what I did. You may feel Pepe's unreliable since he did not write many details in his profile. However, he is simply not good at writing. So this can be part of your work - help him to improve the profile in workaway.

As a helper, your daily work is light. In… read more

I spent a week and a half with Pepe in Guimaraes. Needless to say this workaway began my love affair for Portugal. He was very kind and accomodating, he made me feel at home and was very hospitable. He brought myself and Erika around Guimaraes, and we met his family and many of his friends who were also incredible people. I had an amazing time… read more

Thank you Erica for the kind words. It was very nice to have you around. You were really helpful in the house and a enjoyable company to me, my family and friends. We liked very much to learn about Texas and the USA. You can take Erica out of America, but you can't take America out from Erica! :)

Guimaraes,Portugal is a sweet escape for any traveler especially if you are staying with Pepe and his awesome circle of family and friends.
