Description

Nice to meet you! I am Duarte, from Portugal :)

I have always been passionate about cultural diversity, landscapes and languages. I want to see these things with my own eyes and that's what brought me here.

My main goal in life is to forever grow up and I decided that traveling around the world, meeting all types of people is the best way of doing that. I like hearing others' stories, exchange culture and enjoying my own company.

I am starting from Portugal and heading east, let's meet on the way!

More details about my language interests
I was raised a portuguese speaker and learnt english at school and from media. Later, I lived in Denmark where I used english as a first language and became fluent, since then english is the language I use most during my day. I learnt danish while in Denmark, achieving level B1. I can also slowly comunicate in spanish which isn't very different from portuguese. I am very interested in sharing all the language knowledge that I have with others. It's something I have been doing through the travels I did so far and I really learning and teaching languages.

More details about your skills

I always like trying new things, and for now I have worked for 1 year in a souvenir shop in Copenhagen, and also worked as a volunteer with construction in Ukraine, organic farming as a WWOOFer in Portugal and English teacher in Morocco. While in the Sahara desert I also made bricks to build walls.

I hold a masters degree in environmental engineering and participated in various projects as a student, coordinating social media pages and organizing events. I have a dog who I raised since he was a baby found in the street so I am keen to play with dogs. My friends also say that I am a good cook, so I think that would also fit here :)

I also enjoy making arts and writing. Embroidery is my biggest hobby.

Duarte was very helpful with the project I needed help with - formating my book with different languages. He was also an active participant in the household - cooking dinner a few times, cleaning the kitchen, playing board games in the evening. He was easy to get along with and had interesting stories to tell. He was also very good at kitten … read more

I stayed in Sarah's house for almost 2 weeks and it was at a convenient and tranquil location. Sarah had just gotten a baby cat which was super fun to sit. My work was mostly to translate her book, sit the baby cat and occasionally cook. It was all self paced which I appreciated. And Sarah also drove me and the other workawayer around to some nice … read more

Prashant has a beautiful hotel which made my stay in Khajuraho really memorable. I recommend all travellers to stop by Khajuraho, it's in the middle of the way and honestly the best monuments of India. Prashant wants volunteers who have a plan in mind. In my case that was to clean the food forest. But you will come, see it and you will know what's … read more

It’s been a great week having Duarte stay and contribute intuitively at my place. Our interactions were free-flowing and candid on varied subjects. He’s a wonderful, sincere, and easygoing individual. I highly recommend him as a Workawayer to any host. Wishing you all the very best, Duarte.

Working in this school was a huge pleasure for me. I wanted to be in a more rural Indian environment and that's why I applied for this workaway. If you want to discover the true India away from tourist destinations and be close the way of thinking of Indian children this is the best workaway you can do. In this village you will be a celebrity: the … read more

Duarte helped us clean out the basement It's very difficult and demanding work, however, the type of this work was not listed in our list. We're very grateful for that. Duarte also helped with gardening and making beds at the glamping site. He was always punctual and efficient. Living with him was just as wonderful. Duarte is quiet, clean, and … read more

This is a great workaway. The host is very generous and honest and the place is beautiful. If you come here you can be sure you will have a great time. I can't recommend it enough. Only thing I regret is coming on autumn instead of winter, since during winter you get to sky for free. Next time! But at least you get to use the cable cars for free … read more
