Description

Hello! My name is Pepijn Jones, I am an 18-year-old boy who was born in Holland and moved to Spain at the age of three. After living there for 6 years my parents had enough and now I am calling Portugal my home! Playing the guitar brings me great joy in life and is an outlet for emotions, I am the lead guitarist of a band called GIMME I am in with my brother and friends, and this motivates me to continue learning the arts of guitar! I have recently found a new love for oil painting which I do dearly as well. My lifelong ambition is acting, I have wanted to become an actor since the age of 5 when watching 'The lord of the Rings' I took A-level Drama and participated in the TRYtheatre group in Lagos Portugal for two years but unfortunately, I am too old to participate now. But turning 18 meant I was legally allowed to teach classes, so I was asked to teach a couple of classes. I have worked with 8-12 year olds and 15-17 year olds.
Growing up in the countryside of both Spain and Portugal allowed my family to keep a lot of animals! I am proud to say that I have four dogs and three cats currently.

More details about my language interests
I was three years old when I moved from my country of birth, so I was forced to learn Spanish from a very young age just to get around. It was challenging but it also made me learn a lot faster, this motivates me to provide people with the help to pass the knowledge I have to others.

More details about your skills

I have worked a festival season in England and also did a course when working for Teleperformance Portugal where I learned techniques on how to communicate with customers, so I have had experience in customer service. I have worked every summer since I was 15 for a building company in Portugal called Modern Build, this allowed me to work on the construction site helping to build houses. I have worked around my home and done such things as building a pergola (a pergola is an exterior construction comprising columns that uphold a framework of beams and rafters, creating a roofing grid), I have built deckings and painted the house. I have also worked as a gardener and hold basic knowledge of planting vegetation.

What else ...

I am quite a 'nerd' when it comes to movies, books, or fantasy in general. I really enjoy a card game called Magic the Gathering and would say that is one of my greatest hobbies. My favorite writer is Hunter S. Thomson and my favorite actor is Johnny Depp/ Leonardo Dicaprio.
