Exploration of this intensely diverse blue marble, a good laugh, and always having an interesting story to tell or hear from others.
Description
Greetings!

My name is Chance. I'm an artist with a love of the natural world that I occasionally attempt to capture with brush, camera & other mediums. I moved to Portugal a couple of years ago to design a new lifestyle for myself. I welcome new cultures & perspectives, and am constantly enlightened by the diverse ways others engage with their world.

I consider adventures a necessity, animals as my teachers, and music to be medicine for the soul. Having lived & traveled independently for most of my life, my favorite time is still sharing laughs with friends over a bottle of wine. That, and combing a beach for treasures! Exploring this gorgeous world is the best.

Chance came to stay with us for two weeks in June/July, and was a great help with various projects. She takes her work seriously and is applied and careful. The tasks we gave her included sanding and painting or varnishing furniture, and she did a lovely job.

i spent a couple of weeks at Igal's "robinson" house - his home for artists - but my chores were mostly in the workshop at his house a short walk down the road. to say that Igal likes to collect things would be an understatement. he collects daily driftwood & unusual objects to make into art. he also collects stories & friends. i was designated to… read more

Chance stayed with me for three weeks and offered valuable help, especially with creative tasks. She’s a talented artist who designed, built, and painted a wooden sign for my rental apartment, restored my faded cement patio to look like stones, and painted the structure that will hold the sign. She also contributed landscape ideas and sketched out… read more

i was lucky enough to stay with krystalenia & her adorable cat, ajileas, for 3 weeks. during that time i really felt like i got a good taste of cretan culture - the food & drink, music & dance, history & people - because krystalenia believes in sharing it all with you! she's warm, energetic, sincere, and has a joyous view of life.

It took some time, but Chance has built a very nice bond with our dog Dutchy during her time with us. Nice to see how familiar Dutchy became with her.
I can recommend Chance as an excellent pet/house sitter (not in cold climates).
Chance likes to work individually and independently.
She is truly an artist , very creative and a stunning restorer!… read more

I had the opportunity to stay with Veerle, Cornelis and Dutchy for 2 months, both in Belgium (September) and Spain (October) - also a week in the Netherlands! They are a cheerful and generous couple who enjoy a good laugh and sharing their experiences...and their dog, Dutchy, became my sweet new best friend.

Chance is a wonderful, skillful and helpful lady. During her stay with me she did a very good organization to my messy workshop and other parts of my house. She is not a Workawayer to me anymore, she is now a nice and close friend of mine. I am sure whenever I need her help again she would be here to help.
And from the other hand, my dog Lima… read more

While Chance was around, things just seemed to fall into place easier, due to her atention to detail and her capacity to look at things from a wholesome prespective.There was no task unfinished and lots of things were brought to our attention that needed to be improved.Chance is a hard worker, honest in her performance, kind to others and not… read more

this is a late review, but worth leaving. i stayed at here for a month in june. it was my first workaway experience, and a rewarding one. antonio & branca have their hands full keeping this large property running, so i appreciated the fact that they trusted me to get things done. branca mostly covers the indoor events (and some housekeeping),… read more
