" All my life one of my greatest desires has been to travel, to see and touch unknown countries, to swim in unknown seas, to circle the globe, observing new lands, seas, people, and ideas with insatiable appetite, to see everything for the first time and for the last time, casting a slow, prolonged glance, then to close my eyes and feel the riches deposit themselves inside me calmly or stormily according to their pleasure, until time passes them at last through its fine sieve, straining the quintessence out of all the joys and sorrows. "
• Nikos Kazantzakis

" The highest to which man can attain is wonder, and if the prime phenomenon makes him wonder, let him be content, nothing higher can it give him, and nothing further should he seek for behind it. Here is the limit. "
• Johann Wolfgang Goethe

More details about your skills

I have done some volunteering over the years. House-sitting, cat-sitting, dog-sitting, plant-sitting around Europe, Canada, Brazil and other locations.

Some Hostel work done in places like Taipei (Taiwan) and Kobe (Japan). Volunteered on a organic farm in Awa on the island of Shikoku in Japan during the Pandemic.

I like animals so any project involving them would be great to join.

I speak several languages fluently, including Portuguese, so I can be useful in hostels, etc.
