Description
Hello!
My name is Raffelina. I'm a lover of the world and yearn to soak in as many experiences as possible.
I work as a part time barista/bartender/ camp counselor/adventure trip leader/community organizer. I love cooking, learning, exploring, playing with animals, sunny weather, ocean waves and smiles.
I'm a passionate person, whether it be a simple food prep job or organizing events for groups of kids. I put my heart and soul into everything I do in hopes to spread the most joy and live the most meaningful life possible.
I'm excited about working abroad because I am curious about the world and the people and all the things that make people and places unique.
I have experience in food service, youth empowerment, outdoor education, travel, community organizing, leadership, and a passion for learning about pretty much everything else.

I have so much gratitude for this amazing place run by an incredible group of people who dedicate their lives to helping animals. I loved spending my days with all kinds of furry friends, especially the cats! I had lots of time to explore the trails and spend time near the waterfall and river. The food is so delicious and I always felt nourished,… read more

Raffelina was one of our absolut top helpers ever!!! She is such a nice, lovely and caring person who really goes the so called "extra mile"!
Every task she had to fulfil was perfectly done! She picked up everything very quick and understood what and hoe it needed to be done.

I had a lovely 3 weeks at Cleo's place. As a cat lover, it was super rewarding to be surrounded by so many sweet, loving cats- for me this was paradise. Cleo is a superhost- she is very clear with her instructions, takes incredibly good care of her animals and helpers, stocks the fridge with delicious, healthy food, and took me on some fun… read more

Had a lovely experience volunteering at the surf camp for 1 month. The work was easy- cleaning the house, preparing the breakfast and cooking dinner. Milfontes is a really cute town with a beautiful beach, and the Vicentina coast is absolutely stunning. You have tons of time to surf and chill at the beach. Sergio and the other volunteers were… read more

I don't think I can properly put into words how much on a profound impact my experience here has had on my life, thinking and perspective.
I spent 2 weeks at the community lead by Michelle and Chris, who were both incredibly kind and thoughtful people, hosts, teachers, parents, and leaders.
The community was full of love, sharing, learning,… read more

Left by Workawayer (Raffelina) for host for (Come and help at an organic ...)

I had an incredible time working with Lieke and Jetse at 2 festivals this summer. They treated me like family from the moment we met and always made sure I was happy, fed, and comfortable. I was able to work on tasks I enjoyed- taking orders/talking to customers, cooking dinner for the crew, baking brownies to sell, and helping care for the… read more
