Back home. Dm me if you have offers or want to hangout :)

Hey :)
I joined Workaway last summer and spent a month and a half in Slovenia, helping in a Hostel (reception and general maintenance). It was a great way to discover a new country and meet new people with whom I shared cool stories and fun moments with. So I want to find more Workaway experiences :)

I'm a university student, from Lisbon, Portugal. I'm finishing my bachelors in Economics.
I enjoy spending time in nature, being close to the ocean, hitchhiking, exploring new cities… My longest adventure abroad was an exchange semester in Turkey, a year ago. I had a blast, it was great to meet people from such a different culture and to do as much crazy stuff as I could ahah, from riding a packed minibus with many chickens roaming around to helping with rebuilding my friend’s vacation house (I like to do this kind of handiwork too).
I'm quite an easy-going person, I like to see everyone around me having a good time so never a bad time to crack a joke

On a quest to know someone from every country in the world. Maybe you can help with that!
