    Descripción

    Hi! My name is Chandni and I am indian-portuguese. I am 32 years old.

    I recently sold my apartment in the city, packed my life into boxes and started over in nature. I currently live with my pets - Shiva (2y dog), and 3 beautiful cats - Niko, Gipsy and Goa.


    I have travelled quite a bit around the world (and inside myself) and this is the first time I will be a host rather than a workawayer!


    Who are you?
    Someone that loves and respects animals - non negotiable :)
    Open minded, easygoing and self sustainable!
    Driving license mandatory and comfortable with driving!
    Independent, comfortable being alone and in silence.
    Someone who doesnt need constant entertainment or stimulation.


    My House:
    My house is my sanctuary.
    I live in a 6-bedroom countryside house, which requires a lot of maintenance and small tasks during the day.
    I work remotely so I spend a lot of time here.
    The house is surrended my mountains and trees, isolated enough to make you feel at peace.

    Location:
    The house is located in a small village 1h away from the city of Porto (by car).
    Nearest bus station: Amarante - flixbus from Porto Center or the Airport
    There is uber here (not uber eats, yet) but its slow. A car is important.
    The house is 7min away from a big supermarket.
    A car is necessary to get your way around, or a bike if you can handle the mountain roads.
    I have my car and I dont mind sharing it when necessary - make sure you are comfortable driving.


    What can I share?
    I love my own privacy and I can be quite independent for most of the days, so make sure you dont need full time entertainment.
    Stories, laughter, honest conversations
    A taste of life in the Portuguese countryside
    I am happy to cook together, explore the area or simply sit in silence

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    Experience rural Portugal — peaceful mornings, starry nights, and friendly locals.

    Meet my animals (dogs and cats) and experience life in a home shared with furry companions.

    Learn about Portuguese culture from someone who grew up here

    Hear stories and perspectives from my Portuguese–Indian background, and how that mix has shaped my worldview.

    Share meals, swap recipes, and enjoy long conversations about life, travel, and personal growth - but also a lot of independence and silence.

    Explore nearby villages, local markets, and the Douro River area

    Exchange knowledge — I have a background in psychology, work as a coach, and run a support group in Porto, so we can dive into conversations about human behaviour, relationships, and self-development.

    Teach me something from your own culture — a skill, a craft, or even a favourite dish.

    Join in creative projects like designing a natural swimming pool, building a dome, or improving the land.

    Important Boundaries
    Heavy or technical work will have assistance or professional support if needed.
    Safety first.
    No one will be expected to do something beyond their skill level.
    This is about collaboration, not exploitation.

    Important: You are comfortable driving (manual car, I can share mine or if you want to rent your own) for small errands and overall living here.

    Looking at the house and thinking:
    What does this space need?
    How can we make it more functional?
    How can we make it more beautiful?
    How can we make it more “Sanctuary”?

    Housitting and Pet Sitting help
    I would like to have someone in the house taking care of my pets and the overall house wellbeing.

    I want someone who doesn’t just “do tasks”, but someone who can also see possibilities.

    🧠 Very Important: The Energy

    I want someone who:
    Feels excited by transforming a space
    Can show photos of previous work
    Understands rural realities
    Is emotionally stable
    Can live in shared community without drama

    If you have ideas to make the space even more beautiful or functional, bring them on. I’m always open to a little creative magic.

    Alojamiento

    Sleeping arrangements:
    You will have your own bedroom and a shared bathroom
    Full access to the kitchen
    Plenty of natural Light
    Wifi
    Access to a jacuzzi
    Access to a beautiful cold water tank from the mountain

    Meals - to be discussed

    Mostly, I can offer an open heart, a comfortable space and the feeling that you are welcome just the way you are.

    This is a quite rural area, perfect if you enjoy nature, peaceful morning and starry nights. The house is surrounded by fields and trees.

    It will highly depend on the synergie of our pets, so lets be mindful of this. Shiva is very sociable, so I will only host friendly dogs who are proven to get along well with both other dogs, people and cats - non negotiable.
