Description

Olá from Portugal, my name is Svenja!
My happiness comes from getting to know all these beautiful places around the world and really use my lifetime on this planet to learn and to grow. I was fortunate enough to see many countries already and then settling on Portugal as my new home base.
I am a true German at heart - always organized, reliable and efficient - and can be a real entertainer, for example I give Zumba classes and love giving it my all!
I’m excited to learn new hands on skills, being in nature and with a community.
Thank you for reading and connecting, I am excited to meet you and help you with whatever you need to get done!

More details about your skills

- I got to spent a month on a remote island in Fiji and helped to build a house from wood, farming, weeding, cooking and a little bit of fishing (not big fan to go into the open waters)

- I spent 2 months in Bali with 2 cats and one dog, feeding and cuddling them (Bella walked with me a bit outside but its not very common to "go walk your dog" in Bali)

- I lived 4 years with a little dog in a house in Portugal. It is my flatmates dog Goji and I am sitting him a lot when she is working. He injured himself 2 years ago accidentally and was paralyzed from the middle part down. I helped with medicine, taking him to the physio and getting him back on his feet. From time to time we had Zen, a German shepherd mix, live with us in the house as well and I would take him on walks too

- In these 4 years I also helped with the Airbnb on side as a Co host and sometimes cleaning as well

- I worked many years in hospitality as a waitress and hostess

- one of my online Businesses is mainly on Instagram, so I do all the social media myself and know lots of stuff about project organization, automation and that kinda stuff

Also I love crime: books, movies and escape rooms.

When I am not doing Zumba I like to do yoga or go for long walks with a podcast on my ears.
I don't drink any alcohol and I go to bed real early - haha, such a grandma
