Description

Hello, my name is Maria Luiza (Malu) and I'm 24.
I'm a nutritionist (graduated at University of Sao Paulo in 2021) and post graduated in Orthomolecular Nutrition. I work with clinical nutrition since then. Also, i work with biodynamic / lomi lomi massage and Bach's flowers.

Travelling is my passion! I've been to Australia when i was 14, for 3 months, cause i have family there. Then, i started traveling around Brasil with my backpack every holiday i could, and so i developed a lot of maturity, responsability, organization, and dealing with people/ community skills. I love to learn about other cultures and being able to help people. In 2017 I did my first subscription to Workaway, and i worked in Lima, Cusco and Atacama while i was traveling around South America for 3 months.

My family is kinda big, i'm the youngest of 4 brothers, and they are all 20 years older than me. All of them are married and with children, so I'm always the babysitter for my nieces and nephews, because i love kids and spending time with them.

I have a lot of experience with food and cooking, and I can teach about nutrition and health, and also help people organize their personal diet and habits.

Now that i finished my studies in brasil, I'm going to Australia to live with my sister (who's a resident there) and her family, and before going there i'm going to Hawaii. It has always been my dream destination, and besides exploring the island and connecting to the place, I'll do a massage course (lomi lomi) and I want to do a workaway there to have the full experience... connect with people, get to know more about the culture, help someone or a family with my time, working force and knowledge.

I have 5 nephews (from ages 7 to 12), and I always help my sisters with them, by babysitting. I love cooking, specially vegetarian or vegan recipes. I can help with tourists (I'm very communicative and extrovertid) and teach language practise - portuguese, english and spanish - (I've participated on a volunteer project of teaching english in a needy community in São Paulo - brazil). Other skills, as helping in the house (cleaning, shopping) and art projects are suitable for me too. I don't have experience with farming ou building, but I would love to learn about it and help.
