  • Description

    I'm a half Portuguese half Swedish special needs tutor and language teacher who loves soooo many things but mostly learning new things!
    I have an artistic eye and a soul that loves every animal I find.
    My hobbies include reading, writing, swimming (even in cold water!) and going on walks exploring and foraging medicinal herbs.
    Due to having a fixed workplace, I am now only available to do workaways a few times, but my main goal is always to meet like-minded people and learn more about sustainable ways of living and new cultures.
