Description
Hey, I’m Andre!
I’m someone who loves trying new things, meeting people from different walks of life, and seeing where life takes me. I enjoy being outdoors, learning by doing, and getting involved in things I’ve never tried before. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty, and I’m always up for a new challenge or a good conversation.
For me, travelling is about more than just seeing new places. It’s about the people you meet, the experiences you share, and the things you learn along the way. I like keeping life simple, staying open to new opportunities, and making the most of wherever I find myself.
At the moment, I’m chasing a dream of becoming a surf coach. I don’t have everything figured out, but I know the direction I want to go in. I’m working towards building a life around surfing, the ocean, and the freedom to explore the world.
I’m happiest around the ocean, catching waves, spending time in nature, or sharing good moments with good people. I also enjoy creating videos and capturing the experiences I have along the way.
I’ve had a great Workaway experience helping with an agroforestry project in Portugal, and I’m looking forward to meeting more people, learning new skills, and contributing to projects along the way.
Life’s too short to stay in one place forever. I’m here to learn, explore, meet good people, and see where the journey takes me — one wave and one adventure at a time. 🤙 -

More details about your skills
I’m physically active and enjoy practical, hands-on work. Since travelling to Portugal, I’ve gained experience in maintenance at a surf house, eco-building, and hospitality. I’ve helped with digging, cutting wood, and applying straw-clay insulation to walls. I’m also learning more about hospitality by helping with cooking, cleaning guest rooms, and setting tables for customers.
I learn quickly, have a positive attitude, and enjoy taking on new challenges and developing new skills. I’m comfortable working both independently and as part of a team, and I always try to contribute with energy, responsibility, and a willingness to help wherever needed. -

What else ...
I would describe myself as an open-minded, curious, and easy-going person who enjoys new experiences and meeting people from different backgrounds. I like stepping outside my comfort zone and trying new things.
I am generally a morning person and enjoy starting the day early. Friends would describe me as reliable, positive, and easy to get along with. I enjoy both teamwork and independent work when needed.
One of my most memorable travel experiences happened when I let others influence my day and simply went with the flow. It led to hitchhiking with a couple who took me to a local café, shared a meal, invited me to their home, and even gave me a haircut.
I enjoy learning from others, helping where I can, and taking part in meaningful cultural exchange while travelling. -
