Description
Hi!
I am a Dutch-Brazilian lady (53) living in Norway who wants to come back to Brazil for few months to visit family (Chapada dos Veadeiros, Natal) and friends (Southeast), while also volunteering for the most part. As a massage therapist, I am interested in all sorts of healing and wellbeing, healthy food etc. Because I speak several languages (Portuguese and English fluently, plus Norwegian and Dutch), I am also interested in tourism. I have experience in B&B, gardening and art projects.

Lygia, oh Lygia! Such a bubbly personality! She came to my garden twice this year, and both times she brought with her an amazing energy and life spark. I enjoyed having her here, and she was super helpful with many tasks. My kitchen would always look clean and nice, while she was here, my plants were cared for (maybe except for the gynostemma,… read more

From the biggest hotel-like breakfast with homemade yoghurt and all-you-can-eat, to the delicious and creative meals prepared by him, you are in for a gastronomic treat. The atmosphere is… read more

It has been truly wonderful having Liv around. She brings a calm, positive energy and is always a pleasure to talk to—our conversations have been both engaging and thoughtful.
