Description

Howdy! This is Raquel and Hugo! We are a happy portuguese couple together for 6 years now.
We’re portuguese-made but eager for new experiences in the world, learning about new cultures and skills.

We are both graphic designers and handimans. Also I am a photographer (this is Raquel), but we like to get our hands dirty on pretty much anything that we can give our love and creativity to: cooking, building, farming, teaching, animal caring and enjoying the simple things in life where nature and human connection have a big part of.

Plus, we’d love to contribute, if you find it helpful, with our skill set in graphic design, photography, illustration, marketing, webdesign and related. We have experience in strategic branding and e-commerce, and able to help you with social media content too.

We are starting our journey through Central and South America (starting in Mexico and going south) and we are looking for a home-like place that can teach us new things and where we can put our love and care helping nourish inspiring projects. We’re happy to help you and give our best for a meaningful learning work experience with joy and true sharing.

We are easy-going, strong, curious and open for learning new skills and techniques other than the ones above.

In our free time we love to do yoga and meditation, travel in our 89' Renault Traffic van, spend time outdoors, read, dance, hand poke tattooing, paint and trying out artsy projects either macrame, tie dyeing, rug making or even beer brewing. Hugo is a t-shirt designer, so we also love to experiment with screen printing his designs.
As for me (Raquel), I am currently studying to be a yoga teacher, and I would be welcome if you allow me to practice either with a student audience (as a casual class), or alone, while I stay with you.

We are nature and animal lovers, so if you have pets, we are more than happy to sit them and take good care of them. Also, we are conscious of our food habits as for our ecological footprint, so we eat mostly vegetarian (preferably vegan) and take our actions towards the environment seriously.

We are portuguese native speakers (Portugal) and Hugo is fluent in spanish, and Raquel in english.
