Description

hello friends 😊 my name is Albertina. I am a portuguese mix. I am a dogwalker and a pet sitter in Lisbon. I love animals, flowers, nature and music...

I have been visiting Germany for seven months, currently staying in Belgium and planning to travel around Europe. I speak fluent English, basic Portuguese for daily communication, and my mother tongue is actually Cantonese (I was born in Hong Kong)

Workaway enables me to travel around by staying and helping in local families which sometimes allows me to see something more than just a tourist can experience, and meeting amazing people during the journey!

I am a kind, friendly and cheerful person, I enjoy a little humor in life, so as to light up the days!

I would like to meet friendly people around the world, and lovely animals (if you have any at home)

God bless!

Even though staying with Teo was just a few days but I did enjoy Teo's company while I rested inside the apartment!

I enjoyed watering the plants,️ no matter indoor or outdoor in the balcony, they were so nicely arranged, Steph really has got the taste of a designer! And when I cleaned the areas of Teo, I could see her love ♥️ & care for Teo: … read more

Abertina was truly a gem as a Workawayer. She stayed for just under 14 days, and what a amount of work she got through!! Both indoors (cleaning) and outdoors (gardening). She has a fantastic work ethic: meticulous, patient, and focused. She is very independent. I only had to explain things once and she got the idea; and she really wants to see the … read more

Yoshi is a smart hardworking young leader! He would motivate and encourages his staff to discover their own abilities! I remember he told us --- It's not a waste until it is wasted!

Yoshi and his girlfriend are trying to help volunteers/Workawayers to feel like home while we were staying! Without their help, I'm not able to continue my journey: … read more

I would like to give thanks to Natalie offering me the opportunity to know her community in Hof Kotthausen. The first few weeks, Natalie had been so caring and helpful arranging my daily needs living in the red Waggon. I'm so thankful for that :)

It's been another blessing staying in Hof Kotthausen after Velbert. I was able to experience more … read more

I was so lucky being accepted by Eric, my first host family in Workaway. Eric and his wife Anne are super couple, they have two smart children who are fun to be with 😊

Eric had been very patient with me, he explained every detail of the jobs he wanted me to do, and I have learnt a lot from him.

His farm is actually full of lovely animals: … read more
