Description
Hello!
My name is Jackson, a 38-year-old Portuguese-Brazilian with a passion for travel, adventure, and lifelong learning. I've lived across two continents, immersing myself in different cultures, and constantly expanding my perspectives.
Having initially trained as a lawyer in Brazil, I then pursued Computer Engineering in Portugal, where I have resided for the past seven years. Now, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Cybersecurity, and working as a scholarship researcher. This journey through diverse disciplines reflects my belief in being a multidisciplinary professional, and has equipped me with a unique set of problem-solving tools.
On a personal level, I align politically with left-leaning ideologies, advocating for human rights, equality, and open-mindedness. I strongly believe in fostering dialogues that respect and celebrate our shared humanity, regardless of our differences.
Despite my technical background, I have a profound love for philosophy and enjoy engaging in deep and insightful conversations. Although my English is not yet perfect for such discussions, I am committed to continual improvement.
One of my passions outside of academia and work is cooking. As an enthusiastic barbecue chef, I relish the opportunity to prepare and share traditional Brazilian dishes, provided the necessary ingredients are available. It's a tangible way for me to share a piece of my rich cultural heritage.
I see myself as an ideal Workawayer - a traveler who is eager to contribute positively to the communities and places I visit. I'm always ready to lend a hand to my hosts and use my diverse experiences and skills to contribute meaningfully.
I am eagerly anticipating this opportunity to share knowledge, culture, and friendship. I would consider it a privilege to join your household, sharing your space and being part of this adventure for a while.Centres d’intérêt

As a multi-disciplinary professional, my skill set is quite broad and diverse. Here's a brief overview:
Computing and Technology: With a degree in Computer Engineering and a forthcoming Master's degree in Cybersecurity, I am proficient in various aspects of computing and technology. This includes coding, systems analysis, and cyber security protocols. I am also a scholarship researcher at the Polytechnic University of Viana do Castelo, where I apply these skills in academic and practical contexts.
Legal Skills: My Bachelor's degree in Law from Brazil has equipped me with a strong understanding of legal principles and systems. Though my focus has shifted towards computing, these skills can be beneficial in various contexts.
Multilingual Communication: Being a Portuguese-Brazilian, I am fluent in Portuguese. My English skills are at an intermediate level (B1), and I am actively working to improve them. I am comfortable reading and understanding English, and can express myself effectively, albeit with some difficulty.
Domestic and Outdoor Work: My Workaway experiences have given me practical skills in areas like pet care, house maintenance, and outdoor work. I've cared for 16 Dobermans at once and managed a household in the absence of the homeowners.
Cooking: I am an excellent cook, with a particular passion for Brazilian cuisine. I would be more than happy to share some traditional dishes with you, given the availability of necessary ingredients.
Problem-Solving: Above all, I consider myself a problem-solver. This skill transcends specific domains, making me a versatile and adaptable individual. I am always eager to learn new things and apply my problem-solving abilities in new contexts.
I believe that these skills, combined with my open-mindedness and dedication, will make me a valuable addition to any Workaway host.
Philosophy and Political Activism: I have a keen interest in philosophy and political activism, having read and studied works by influential thinkers like Spinoza, Jung, and Foucault. My political leanings align with the left, and I am a staunch advocate for human rights and equality. My activism isn't just theoretical - I've coordinated political campaigns and have a hands-on understanding of the political landscape.
Leadership and Management: My experience extends to leadership roles, where I've managed companies and led teams. This background has honed my organizational, strategic thinking, and people management skills.
These experiences and interests contribute to my broad understanding of the world and my commitment to making a positive impact. I enjoy deep conversations about philosophy, politics, and societal issues and am always eager to learn from others' perspectives. These, combined with my practical skills, make me a versatile and adaptable individual, ready to contribute meaningfully to any situation.Âge
