  Descripción

  I live in a beautiful old house in the historic neighborhood of Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
  I'm German and I've lived in Brazil for over 35 years. I'm 63 years old, very well-disposed and I love taking care of the house and of my health. I love doing yoga, outdoor walks in Rio de Janeiro and working as a tour guide.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Having lived in Brazil for over 35 years, I love sharing my knowledge of Brazilian culture, cuisine, language, and customs. I have experience teaching Portuguese to foreigners, so if you’re interested in learning or improving your Portuguese, I’d be happy to help. Since I am also a tour guide, I can provide great insights into the history, culture, and hidden gems of Rio de Janeiro and other parts of Brazil.
  Beyond that, I am passionate about fermented foods and homemade kombucha. I make my own kombucha at home and love exchanging recipes, tips, and experiences with others who are interested in fermentation and healthy living.
  In return, I am always eager to learn about different cultures, languages, and skills. This is a space where we can exchange ideas, stories, and experiences while working together in a meaningful and enjoyable way. If you’re looking for a welcoming environment where cultural exchange happens naturally, I would love to host you!

  Ayuda

  I have a house, a backyard, and a garden, all of which offer different opportunities for travelers to contribute. There are always ways to help, whether through daily household tasks, general upkeep, or more specific maintenance projects. No special skills are required—anyone can contribute in some way—but if you do have experience in areas like gardening, restoration, or home improvement, your knowledge will be very welcome. The most important thing is having a positive attitude and a willingness to participate. I believe that everyone brings unique talents, and I welcome travelers who are enthusiastic, open-minded, and eager to contribute in a collaborative way. Whether you want to learn about sustainable living, historic architecture, or simply experience daily life in Brazil, this is a space for mutual learning and creativity.

  - About Santa Teresa:
  My home is located in Santa Teresa, one of Rio de Janeiro’s most charming and artistic neighborhoods. Known for its colonial mansions, narrow cobblestone streets, and bohemian atmosphere, Santa Teresa is a place full of history, art, and breathtaking views of the city.
  
  Some must-see attractions in the neighborhood include:

  - Parque das Ruínas: A cultural center with stunning panoramic views of Rio.

  The neighborhood has a welcoming and laid-back vibe, making it a great place for travelers who enjoy a mix of culture, nature, and community.
  
  Other Activities & Recommendations
  If you're interested in live music and samba, Santa Teresa has great spots for catching local performances.
  
  If you’d like to try learning Portuguese, I’m happy to help, as I have experience teaching Portuguese to foreigners.
  
  I’ll be happy to sharethose and more recommendations so you can make the most of your stay!
