Description

CATE IS LOOKING FOR A VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY (hostel, surfhouse) IN PORTUGAL. FROM AFTER CHRISTMAS TILL END OF JANUARY :)

Ciao! We are caterina (23) and jaco (30) two italian travellers, we met two years ago in gran canaria volunteering in an hostel and then we started travelling together!

Our Experiences:
- Gran Canaria (Las Palmas), where we volunteered in two different hostels (Columbus and Jungle House) we did housekeeping, reception, cleaning work.
- Morocco (Kelaa des saraghna), where we worked in "the english school", (teaching Italian and managing the school’s Instagram page.)
- Bulgaria (Veliko Tarnovo) in "Hostel Mostel" doing tasks of cleaning, doing beds, reception, ecc
-Turkey (Goreme) in "Kose Pansion" hostel doing breakfast and general cleanings.
- France (Chinon) it was actual work, not volunteer. we did the grape harvest for a month

The thing we do most when we travel is learning new languages, cooking the local cuisine and meet new friends. We both speak Italian, English, and Spanish.
Caterina also speaks a bit of Portuguese and French.
Jaco speaks some Darija (Moroccan Arabic).

CATE is from Rimini, is a creative girl who loves music, sewing, photography and art. She can stay all the day at the beach under the sun burning with a book or talking with people or in nature and creating things like handmade clothes and crafts and reading tarots while listening to italian trap. She has also a camera, and she always does photos. She studied in nursing school , so has the basic skills to survive ;). Let's say that Jaco cooks and she clean the dishes.

JACO, from Milan is a crazy metalhead passionate about drawing, music and sport. he is a graphic designer, plays the electric guitar, and often takes part in jam sessions. He is crazy about sports and outdoor activities, he does calistenics even under the rain. He loves animal and taking care of them, especially dogs, but he cuddle even spiders. And last but not least he is a good cook, all the years spent in England haven’t taken away the Italian that’s inside him, but if he talks in english you will never guess that he is not native.
