I'll be walking the Kumano Kodo with a friend and I'd really like to spend some time in the japanese countryside and all the nature.
After that, I'll be studying Chinese in Taiwan.

Description

I'm a 26-year-old Portuguese girl who enjoys taking her time traveling. I've studied and lived abroad and I really enjoy getting to know smaller places and the countryside. I love taking my time and meeting people and creating connections.

I'm a language teacher (English and Portuguese) and I love working with kids. I worked in an active pedagogy school in Belgium during 2024/2025. We'd go to the forest every week and have so many activities where the kids can learn about the world that surrounds them.

I love nature (camping, hiking, beach, mountains) and animals. I'm enthusiastic to learn more about gardening and farm management.

I'm a hard worker and I'm not scared to get dirty. I can dig holes and plant potatoes. I can dust attics and paint walls. I set out to learn and do the best I can in any task I'm given because I enjoy learning and trying new things so much.

I'm the oldest of 5 kids (I have three sisters and one brother). I'm a good cook, an artist in different things (knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery, painting) and over all a happy person.

I'd be grateful to learn more about the world and share a special moment with the people I meet.

More details about your skills

I'm great with kids and people in general. I'm patient, attentive, have endless energy and a great listener. This also means that I'm great at costumer service (I've worked in a couple cafés and in a bookstore).
I consider myself a good teacher, specially true for languages, and a good cook.
I'm a fast and happy learner. I can clean, I can organize, etc. From the most detail focused task to the more strength demanding ones. I have confidence in the help I'm able to provide. :)
