Activities i am interested in:

I have a special interest in hospitality, garden work, housesitting, language teaching, and manual and domestic tasks in general. I'm an early bird, I learn quickly, and I'm always ready to work!

Description

Born and raised in southern Brazil, where I graduated in International Business, at 27 I moved to Italy, the land of some of my ancestors, where I lived for nine years (I hold Brazilian citizenship as well as Italian citizenship). In early 2026 I came to Australia with the intention of working and traveling around the country throughout this year. With my employment contract coming to an end (I have been working on a farm in the north of the country over the past six months), I decided to go to Japan, where I was in 2019, to spend between six and eight weeks. I'm very happy to return to the country and, who knows, maybe pick up a bit of Japanese this time.

Reading and travelling are two of the things I enjoy the most. I've been to 70 different countries, and during my trips I'm mostly hitchhiking and using Couchsurfing.

More details about your skills

I've done a multitude of jobs in the past 20 years: I worked at a bank, in real estate, as a cultural producer, in export, as a language teacher, as a social educator, on a farm, and as a self-employed consultant in Italy for almost a decade. I also volunteered on multiple occasions and would say I'm a jack of all trades. I'm good at cooking, cleaning (I love washing the dishes), and manual work in general.

Some of the volunteer work I've done includes the following:
- Chaired my hometown's cultural foundation for three and a half years;
- Taught Portuguese to immigrants in Brazil;
- Did domestic work and garden maintenance in northern Italy for three months;
- Cat sat in Rome for one month.
