Travel information

I am currently

Description

Just a Latin American guy who wants to learn a little more about life.
Really like music and art in general, such as discovering new hobbies. I am a construction, DIY, gardening and science enthusiast, want to have as many professions as possible, and volunteering work can give me some experience and geographic freedom.
I already worked in civil construction and some carpentry projects. Not professional, but if it's something simple, i can do it with the right tools and materials. I like challenges and can study the cases.

I decided to explore Portugal (I already live here, and currently working) for a few months with Oreo, my 8-month-old puppy, who despite having a lot of energy, doesn't tend to bark or behave badly, as long as he's entertained (he loves children and racing). I don't plan on putting him indoors without me.

I'm looking for a place not too far from busy cities, for a long therm volunteering.
I'm not vegetarian, but I would like to learn a little more about veg cuisine. I can be a little reserved, but would love to chat and practice my English and Spanish, as well as teach Portuguese (I'm a language enthusiast and aspiring teacher).

More details about my language interests
I believe I have rusty advanced English, but willing to practice. Lately I have been studying Spanish, which I'm more confident speaking it. It would be good to teach Portuguese (european or brazilian accent), if that is the case. I'm interested in an academic career focused on teaching languages.

More details about your skills

I worked for almost two years in civil and industrial construction, focused on operating machines such as excavators, but I have some knowledge of civil construction.

I've also been: military officer, administrative assistant, receptionist, waiter, store operator, construction machinery operator and street vendor.

I studied (or still study) formally: economics bachelor degree (leaved), veterinary treatment assistent (mostly dogs, cats and rodents), business administration, buildings management and a lot of short courses that I can't list haha.

I really like manual tasks, as long as there are the proper tools to do it. I am a young man willing to learn and practice new skills.

What else ...

I'm living in Portugal for almost 2 years, so i have residence, NIF, portuguese driver license, etc (if it's a request).
I will make sure my dog is not a nuisance. He will be with me full time, and i don't want to put him free indoors.
I am traveling by car and would need some place to park it. Also have plans to buy a caravan to repair in the next weeks, so let's talk.
It would be good if there were a fixed timetable or target for completing the tasks.
