Description

Hello again!
It's my 2nd time on workaway :) A few years ago I had a great time working as a volunteer in Europe and Turkey. I had the opportunity to discover beautiful, yet little-known places, meet wonderful people and make friends along the way.

This time I would like to get to know Brazil and practice my Portuguese.
I am already in Rio de Janeiro and looking for my next destination in May/ June.
I am most interested in "creative" works (e.g. architecture, construction, painting) and projects about nature or mushrooms.

I hope my skills and experience will be helpful to you!
I'll write more about it below :)

More details about your skills

As a volunteer, I had various jobs, including:
- work in hostels (reception, cleaning, informing guests about city attractions and transport),
- general house maintenance in countryside,
- painting murals for seaside cabins,
- designing and building wooden outdoor structures: hexagonal bridge, geodesic bamboo ball, windmill-cabin entrence (there are a few photos of them in my gallery).

Some of my other skills:
- architecture - I have a university degree in architecture and knowledge of SketchUp (a handy 3D modeling program) and AutoCAD (for drawing 2D building plans);
- drawing - in recent years I have been working as a concept artist and illustrator.
I can make a wall painting for you, design a mascot, create characters for an animated film... There are more options, so let's just talk :)
- organizing events - I organized events for students, such as science courses, engineering competitions, cultural exchanges.

I was also told that I have a "green thumb". Although I have just a terrace, I would say it's rather lush - we even started to have some happy bird visitors.
