Description
My name is Mateus, I’m 24 years old, and I grew up in Germany with Portuguese roots. I studied computer science and worked in IT, but I realized that I feel happiest when I’m active, learning new things, and meeting new people.
I enjoy practical work, being outdoors, and contributing to meaningful projects. I have already volunteered on several farms in Italy, which showed me how much I value cultural exchange, teamwork, and simple living. I am open to many types of work and enjoy adapting to new environments.
For me, Workaway is about learning, sharing skills, and connecting with people from different backgrounds while experiencing local life.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Learn to develop a food ...)

My stay with Hiroë and Jos near Nara was a truly enriching experience. I learned a lot about regenerative farming, food forests, sustainability, and self-sufficiency — but also about Japanese culture, cuisine, and thoughtful long-term living. Jos and Hiroë are very open-minded, experienced, and generous in sharing their knowledge and ideas. Our… read more

Left by host (Learn to develop a food ...) for Workawayer ()

Mateus stayed with us for a week in February and worked on our project. He made an excellent team with fellow Workawayer Kostas.
