Description
About me:

Woman, raised in Finland, with roots in Ethiopia. I am open-minded, love to meet new and qenuine people. I have a passion for reflecting on and exploring the wonders of the world and writing about what they awaken in me. Through my education and general interest, I have an interest in well-being and health, and I strive to apply these to practice.

Year ago heard about the Workaway-style way of networking, sharing experiences and skills — I got excited and decided to give it a try finally.

I am open to everything that Workaway makes possible:
travelling in good company, tourism and hospitality,
experiencing farm life, caring for animals and pets, working in gardens and with crops, DIY projects, cultural exchange and genuine human encounters, meeting like- minded people.

Dora was an excellent host. She welcomed me with a smile from the very first moment we met and immediately made me feel welcome. I felt that she trusted me and gave me appropriate freedom to do my work in my own way. The work could be done with a pleasant relaxed attitude without rushing or overexertion. She was easy to approach and ask questions… read more whenever needed. Her management style was not bossy, but respectful and friendly. When necessary, she gave clear instructions that were easy to follow.

They have a lovely family. The family members are friendly and active in their daily lives. Even though i didn’t see the other family members every day, whenever we met, we always greeted each other with joy and warmth.This was my first longer Workaway experience, and it gave me an excellent start for future adventures. At this destination, I got to test my skills in a wide variety of tasks. I especially liked that there was enough variety, so boredom never set in.

I worked approximately 3 hours per day. The schedule had enough flexibility, which is perfect if you are a digital nomad. My tasks included gardening, helping with the cleaning of the hostel apartments, taking care of the vegetable beds, various yard work, and general household maintenance. The work was mostly independent, but occasionally Dora and I worked together on projects.

One of the biggest highlights was the property’s own home gym, which is cozy, spacious, and well-equipped with everything needed to stay in shape. You can do yoga, dance, lift weights, etc., after or before your workday. In addition, the male head of the family is a capoeira master who teaches classes in Sagres, which you can join. I tried it myself and can honestly say that capoeira is effective and holistic exercise. The group atmosphere was positive and very respectful. I still regret not attending all the possible classes, but the experience inspired me to explore this hobby more deeply in the future.

Vila do Bispo is a peaceful small village. The grocery store is about a 5-minute walk away, and in the village center you’ll find a bar, a pharmacy, hostels, etc. You’ll see many travelers in the village, making it easy to meet new people. Fisherman’s Road hiking trail is about a 12-minute walk away; I walked it often and admired the beautiful surrounding landscapes. Having your own car is convenient here if you want to explore outside the village, for example to nearby towns like Sagres or other areas. I didn’t have one, but luckily Dora gave me ride and showed me some places.

You will definitely enjoy your time here and get to experience many different things. I warmly recommend this destination to other Workawayers.

Thank you, Dora, for your excellent care – perhaps we will meet again in the future! This was a great place to continue from. 😊💜

Everything went well with Tarik. She is a calm and tranquil person, always with a smile on her face. She is polite, friendly, independent, and respectful. Essentially, she did gardening. She cleaned and tended to the garden, mowed the lawn, and made everything look nicer. She did some cleaning when I needed it. She watered the vegetable garden and… read more
