Description
Hi! I'm Bess, I'm back on workaway. I am travelling to Portugal from Belgium this july and I am looking for a warm environment to spend this time. I had an other workaway experience 4 years ago in Kosovo, where I was helping in a small backpackers hostel in Pristina and it was one of the best periods of my life. I'm looking for a warm honest beautiful place to stay surrounded with wonderful people to help with all kinds of tasks. I study a masters conflict and development in Ghent, Belgium

More details about your skills
I've been working in different bars in Belgium as my student job. I volunteered on festivals, have a bachelordegree of social work and did my internship in a theatrespace for newcomers. I can help you with hosting travellers, look after the house, ... I won't be bothered by a lot :) also gardening and sustainable living would be lovely to experience. I'm part of a young collective in Antwerp where criticize our global economy and think of sustainable ways of living instead, linking it with art (it's a bit vague :) ) Anyway, I have some skills from my latter travels, studies and life experience (sounds a bit weird to put it like this ) but I am really open to experience new stories :)
