Description
Hi there! My name is Vinícius (26), I'm Brazilian but currently I live in Portugal (Coimbra).
Despite having only 2 reviews on my workaway profile, I have some other experiences volunteering abroad, and would like to summarize them:
My first one was in Peru (🇵🇪) where I studied for some months in 2018 and also had the opportunity of to be a volunteer teacher in a local school. The second one happened in Wales (🏴) and was a long term volunteering, where I've worked with people with learning disabilities. My third happened with workaway in Spain (🇪🇦), where I lived around 1 month and helped with painting and house maintenance. And finally I have my two latest ones in Portugal (🇵🇹), one for two weeks helping with gardening and house maintenance (by the workaway app) and other as receptionist in a hostel in Coimbra (that started in February and I'm still volunteering here!).
As I'm a Physical Education teacher, I have experience with children, besides experience teaching sports as well, but I'm able to do different types of job as you can presume by my past experiences.
As I'm having an amazing time in my current experience, I'm quite interested in volunteering in hostels/guest houses, so the hospitality opportunities are my main focus right now :D.
To finish, I consider myself a very adaptable and open-minded person, so I'm quite sure we will spend a good time and learn a lot together :).

The house is literally in front of the beach, and Estela will make you feel like at home.
My work there was basically paint the house and leave Gancho (a medium port lovely dog 🐕) to walk. Estela was very flexible with my working hours, so it was a plus for me to organise… read more
