Description
Hi, my name is Marcella and I'm a 19 year old Brazilian who moved to live in Lisbon with the family 2 years ago (my parents and my 18 year old brother). We decided to move to Portugal to have an experience living in Europe and for a better quality of life.
I just graduated from high school in Portugal and I have decided to travel before getting into university, since I want to meet new people, get to know new cultures and different lifestyles.

I would conseider myself a very sociable, adaptive and positive girl. I'm always open to talk to people and make new friends.
I enjoy being close to nature and going to the beach as well as hanging out with friends.
I also like children, I used to be a babysitter in Portugal for kids between 6 to 8 years old, and I love spending time playing and taking care of them! So I would love to help you with babysitting in case you have children!
During my gap year I volunteered in 3 hostels (in Malta, Zagreb and Prague), in an olive grove (in Brac Island, Croatia), in a chateau in France and with some gardening/general help in Sicily.

I speak English, Portuguese and intermediate Spanish.

I hope to make good memories and share moments with really nice people during my gap year :) Hopefully you can be part of my travels!

More details about your skills
I already have experience working in hostels since I've worked in 3. While I was volunteering I had to do housekeeping and work at the reception.
I don't have much experience with gardening but I would like to learn more about it. I've only worked in an olive grove and I really enjoyed it.
I have experience with kids since I'm a babysitter in Portugal :)

I would love to work with painting, it's something that I'm very interested in.
I can also help with household tasks such as cleaning, helping in the kitchen and cooking.

I spent one week in Cory's house and it couldn't have been better. His house is really good located (in the center of Pozzuoli with a beautiful sea view) and comfy. Cory and his girlfriend Maria were really nice to us and were always open to help with everything. Maria teached us how to make nhoque, they showed us a volcano close to their house… read more

Left by host (Help our family with organic ...) for Workawayer (Marcella)

Marcella, Ane, and Enea were a pleasure to host. It was a last minute arrangement for both of us but we are grateful that it worked out and to have had their help for two weeks, as we were able to work twice as fast. They are a great, respectful, and fun group to spend time with. We also had the honour of being their judges for a bake-off… read more

We had a great time staying for 2 weeks with Crystal, Mariano, Theo and Nora. They made us feel like home and helped us with everything we needed. The kids are so cute and were always around when we were working. The guest house we stayed was perfect and comfortable, it couldn't have been better. We used to work all together in the olive grove and… read more

Macella, Ane and Enea arrive as a pack of minions. Always cheerful, happy and smiling and great company to have around. We were happy to have them and hope that they will remain in contact and perhaps we will visit them in their countries also. x

This was my first experience doing workaway and it couldn't have been better. I'm so thankful for all the people I've met there and for all the moments we shared together. The place is amazing, the accommodation is really good (I had my own bungalow) and the work was easy and fun because I worked with other workawayers. JP and Dean are the best… read more
