Description

Hi!

I'm Mariana, a 25 year old from Portugal balancing a hospitality day-job with busy nights in loud venues as a concert photographer.

Both personally and professionally, I'm driven by novelty and curiosity. I appreciate the stability of a routine as much as the chance to break it ever now and then.

Workaway has allowed me to experience first-hand freedom as a 18-year-old in Prague, and led me to great friendships in the beautiful streets of Ghent at 22. Three years later, it is the reason I live in Belgium, biking to work daily and communicating in Dutch.

It's now time for a new adventure, and I'm looking forward to exploring the world of surf and unwinding from the busy city life, in Portugal or abroad!

More details about my language interests
I speak both Dutch and Spanish conversationally, but not fluently, and would love a chance to practice! I'm also interested in learning French. I can help with conversation practice in Portuguese or English.
