Description
I was born on Faial Island in 1977, where I grew up with a deep passion for the ocean. I started fishing at a young age, gaining experience in many traditional fishing activities, from small wooden boats to the bigger tuna fishing vessels.
My experiences and passion for the ocean led me to buy my own fishing boat to earn my living.
So, I just need help with my animals, while I'm away for fishing, walk the dog,feed the cats.
If I´m in the property, some light projects with my property(not in my bnb) just my own property and garden.
