***Atualização JANEIRO/25 (Brazil - Espírito Santo): ERICA VIAJANDO SOZINHA PELO BRASIL.****

Envie-me uma mensagem se precisar de ajuda para receber hóspedes em um albergue/hotel multilíngue ou em um vinhedo. ****

**********************

Olá! Eu sou Erica @erica.caspani do Brasil. Já morei na Itália, EUA, Nicarágua, Panamá, Portugal, e voltei para o Brasil, onde pretendo ficar mais tempo. Quando estou no Brasil, posso hospedar voluntários na fazenda do meu pai. Minha antiga companheira de viagem teve que retornar ao Brasil por motivos de saúde da família, e atualmente estou fazendo trabalho voluntário sozinha.

Visitei 36 países e falo português, italiano, inglês, espanhol fluentemente e estou aprendendo francês. No ano passado, desenvolvi muito meu inglês e sei que posso melhorar por meio do voluntariado, assim como meu francês.

Passei 6 meses na América Central para melhorar meu espanhol, e atualmente estou focado em melhorar meu inglês e francês, e descobrir a história e a cultura dos países que visito, assim como experimentar a produção de vinho e a comida típica local. Na verdade, sou um sommelier de vinhos experiente e já fui voluntária em um vinhedo.

Como descendente de italianos e brasileiros, adoro preparar pratos típicos dos meus países, tanto doces quanto salgados. Estou sempre disposta a experimentar novos sabores e não tenho restrições alimentares. Respeito todas as crenças e culturas e me sinto confortável em qualquer ambiente. Adoro fazer atividades físicas como corrida, yoga, natação, ciclismo e musculação. Tenho experiência de voluntariado em vários países, incluindo Brasil, Itália, Estados Unidos, Nicarágua e Panamá.

Minhas habilidades são diversas e posso ajudar com muitas coisas, desde turismo e hotelaria, manutenção da casa, culinária e degustação de vinhos, e posso ajudar também na criação de conteúdo digital. Estou sempre procurando aprender novas habilidades e compartilhar o que sei. Falo português, italiano, espanhol e inglês fluentemente e estou aprendendo francês. Além disso, adoro mergulhar na cultura local e aprender sobre os idiomas falados nos países que visito. Adoraria compartilhar minha jornada com você! Sinta-se à vontade para me enviar uma mensagem. Obrigada pela oportunidade!

What else ...
We enjoy volunteering. I have worked as an English and Spanish interpreter for a chess school in Panama and a hostel in Nicaragua. I have volunteered to look after children on a French family's sailing boat, prepared meals during the Panama Canal crossing, and also crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 21 days. I took turns watching the GPS at night with another volunteer.

I can also do housework, look after children, look after animals, and look after plants.

I have international driving licenses for motorcycles and cars (manual and automatic).

I have no words to express my incredible experience at Tobi's property. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed and picked up at the bus station, which made my arrival much simpler. Tobi was a remarkable host, always kind and helpful. He not only helped me with my English, but also encouraged me to develop my YouTube channel, offering guidance and… read more

Erica stayed three weeks - There are no words to describe how helpful it was to have Erica on my land. She was helping with all sorts of tasks. In the kitchen, general maintenance, cleaning or translating from Portuguese to English with the locals. Her meals didn't only taste awesome they were also beautifully arranged! Erica prepared some amazing… read more

I participated as a volunteer here for two weeks and the experience was incredible. Volunteer Coordinator Lea demonstrated an unwavering commitment to ensuring that all volunteers enjoyed the experience to the fullest, meeting our needs with care. Bryan, responsible for the bar, taught me how to make drinks and I learned how to make a caipirinha… read more

You know when a person is special when all the kids love him, and Jou is that special person. Meeting Jou, Alana, Rosário, Kelly, the volunteers and another children from the chess project in Bocas del Toro-Panama schools was a great gift for me, because I felt like part of the family and I was also able to help them as an interpreter and improve… read more

Erica and Gustavo were an excellent addition to the winery team. Both are knowledgeable, hard working, and fun to be around. Gustavo is very good with tools and systems and Erica is a genius with wine and food. I felt very lucky to have had their help for six weeks. Couldn't have done it without them. Thanks guys!

We stayed for a month and a half with Adam, James and other volunteers, it's a pet friendly environment, there are lots of kittens and the team's best friend, Rockie, who is a big and very docile dog.

We were able to learn about the cultivation of vines and the entire wine production chain, bottling, labeling and storing, and especially tasting.… read more

We were guests of Mercedes and Andrew for a period of 4 weeks. It is difficult to describe in words the magnitude of our experience, but it was extraordinary. As soon as we arrived, we immediately felt a warm feeling of being at home. Mercedes is an excellent cook and Érica learned several culinary tricks, in addition to improving her English.

Linda and her daughter Giulia are kind, the cats and the dog are very docile. Linda kitchen very well. We slept in an open air room, comfy bed and warm blankets. There's plenty of work to do there and for all abilities, she tells you what to do and you're free to do it however you see fit. Back in Siracusa we helped her cut wood, organize rooms,… read more

Our experience with Guido and his family was fantastic. Guido and Jenny (wife) are very welcoming and interested hosts, and baby Agnese is sweet and very smart. Guido and Jenny cook very well. Catarina and Turi (Guido's parents) made a delicious lunch for us on Sunday.
