Description
Hello! I am a classical guitarist and teacher from Portugal. After nurturing a career teaching guitar for over 10 years (having students as young as 4 year olds and as old as 67) I recently decided it is time to pursue a new adventure. I’m relatively new to workaway and currently looking for a volunteering experience abroad. I am excited about exploring, learning new skills, development and helping communities.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
In my last workaway experiences I had the opportunity to do gardening (both in private and community gardens), renovations, carpentry, cleaning, cooking, child care and also work for animal sanctuaries and shelters.
I am a classical guitarist and teacher with over 10 years' experience.
In the past I've also volunteered at a dog shelter, in which I was in charge of cleaning, accommodating and caring for the animals, and in a children's summer workshop, in which I carried out socio-cultural activities with children, such as artistic activities, group dynamics games and expression games.
I've worked briefly in fruit picking and touristic activities. During high school, my internship involved the management of socio-cultural activities linked to the promotion of reading habits among both young people and the elderly, in the context of a Social Work course.

Joao is one of those reliable and dedicated volunteers who is ready to go the extra mile. We worked together side by side accomplishing several seasonal tasks on and off the fields. His help was crucial and essential, especially as part of a fence construction against intrusive birds. He is capable of coming up with some good creative ideas when… read more

I stayed over with Soykan for one week and a half. We started with a DIY project at his place and some cleaning. Then we worked at the olive trees field, cutting weeds and clearing the ground around them.
I had a great time getting to know Soykan and his family, as well as going out grocery shopping at the local markets, walking around the town,… read more

I found Joao to be very hardworking. He always asked what he could do to help. He quickly learned the processes in the house and completed recurring tasks independently. He is very conscientious. I could always count on him.
He was also a very good cook.
Thank you Joao for your help and I would be happy to have you as my guest again.

If you want to improve your language skills, duolingo will only get you so far. I decided to message this family, not only to have a cultural exchange with them and get to know the area, but also to challenge myself to improve my language skills in french.
As my first ever workaway experience I couldn’t be more happy. Aurélie and Eric are a very… read more
