Description

Hi!

I was born in Portugal - Lisbon, but I am based in London since I was 19.
I am now in my late 20's and still in the UK :)

I studied events management and music business, although I normally work in the beauty industry, booking/studio management and hospitality manager/bartender as my day-to-day job. I also do some freelance work in events every now and then (as a club helper, for example).


At the moment, my life goal is to keep travelling and volunteer around the world (specially Asia) as I love meeting new people, learning the culture, helping others and specially, creating memories for life. I believe volunteer work is more rewarding than a 9-to-5 in a big city.


I am lucky enough to have travelled as much as I have at my age - being based in London opened a lot of opportunities for me in this sector, as I was never one to stay at home even an early age - I was always out and about when I was younger and when possible, visiting other cities in Portugal mostly for music gigs.

I am extremely hands-on and prefer roles around animals (dog shelters) and/or hostel/events, specially if this involves social media, as I am trying to improve my digital skills.

I am a proud vegan and looove food!

Workaway has been a great way to help me conquer my dreams - will you help me too? :)

More details about your skills

I am a very practical person, who excels in organizing and execution rather than being a creative mind (although, I wish I could change this and explore my creative side!)
I have worked with the public since I was 18, being my first job as a waitress and bartender in central Lisbon, moving later to the busy city of London, always delivering a good service and taking on management positions.
I work as a booking agent for a company with 5 tattoo studios in the UK, each going from 3 to 8 resident artists, and I get to organize every artist's calendar and customers.
My education was in events management and the music business, which ideally would go hand in hand - I would love to be a music artist manager.
I have my own side business where I take care of my social media, stock orders, and customer management.
I am also extremely confident and comfortable in working with different cultures and backgrounds, thanks to being based in London.
I have pet sitter for a few months previously as well, as I am good with dogs and find happiness in being around animals in general.
I also have remarkable skills with cooking and coffee service, from managing coffee shops and bars before.

Age

29

What else ...

My hobbies are essentially live music and socializing!
That's the main reason why I moved to London at 19 - you will always catch me in Camden Town for a music gig on the weekends, followed by a night out with my friends.
I am not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and I am extremely open-minded, hardworking, and passionate.
I love nutrition and cooking, spiritualism, and nature.
