Hello everybody!
I am Thomas from Germany, welcome on my Workaway Profile.
I'm trying to give you here a good impression of what you can expect at my new place on São Miguel. So please take the time to read the profile completely before you message me, if it then fits, you will get a bunch more information. Please let me know for what timeframe/dates you want to come. Best is always if you can come at the beginning or middle of the month, at a Sunday or Monday and stay for at least two weeks.
Cheers
Thomas
PS I keep my availability up to date:
- green means, I have at least one more place free, but maybe not for the whole month.
- yellow means, that I most likely have no need for more volunteers, but can host you as "guest".
- red means, I have no space free at all

As I am not a local, I can't offer you a Portuguese, cultural exchange by my self. But there will be other Volunteers, friends, visitors or even family around from all over the world, to get a width cultural exchange anyway.
About learning, it depends a lot, how long you will stay and how fast you learn, if you stay only two weeks, maybe you learn just how to hold a shovel or use a brush. If you stay longer, there a for sure more opportunities. Beside of that, you can ask me out about a lot of topics like Veganism or Off-Grid living.
About socializing:
Usually I host only 4 Volunteers, but have also friends, family and guest around with you can hung up, In total I have space for 12 ppl.
I just (April 2022) moved in a big house which was empty for some years. So I need help with renovation task (painting!), building / putting up furniture and create a nice garden around. There is also a big barn/hall I would like to convert in something useful.
Things to be done:
- plastering
- painting
- digging
- planting trees
- create a garden and terraces
- help in the garden (weeding, digging, moving soil, cutting gras and trees)
- cleaning (floors, windows, dishes, laundry... it's a big house)
- building a outdoor kitchen
- building a tool shop
- building furniture
- building a pool
- create kind of a boulder-gym
- take care of cats
I recommend to bring your own working gloves and good boots are also a good idea. Please be aware, that you can get very dirty and that you have to work sometimes outside even when it rains.

The closest village is Povoação ~ 20 min to walk, where you can find everything you need. But the closest shopping or bar is just ~10min to walk.

The best way to get here, is by bus until "Povoação", where I can pick you (3min by car).
