Description

Hola,

We are a Dutch/Venezuelan couple living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Although this is our home, deep down we are longing to be in the sunny south of Europe and to be surrounded by its friendly people and stunning nature.

We love being active, cooking, working in projects together, gardening, animals, binge watching documentaries, a good complex wine, specialty coffee and meeting new people all around the world.

Our passion for travel is fueled by our love for diverse experiences, especially when it comes to food and culture. We're true food lovers - from local street food to home-cooked meals, we embrace it all with pleasure!

Music is also a big part of our lives. Our global playlist is always on, wherever we go we keep singing along.

But you know what really gets us? The ocean and those sunny days. We just can't get enough of it! It's like Portugal's coasts and vibrant mix of people have a magic spell on us.

Personally being from Venezuela and living so far away from home, and my fiancé having such a great connection with my Latin American culture, we have found that "home away from home" feeling in Portugal. We are attracted to the Portuguese way of living, so we keep coming back for that perfect balance of landscapes, cool culture and buzzing vibes. It's our happy place!

We are hard-working, fun, flexible and positive-minded to every situation! We are really excited to contribute our skills, learn from our hosts and create new memories.

Abrazos,
Jhoy & Armèl
