Description
Hello! I'm Helena (or Lena, my nickname). I'm a Brazilian backpacker, and the Humankind is my passion. If there is something I love about travelling is the possibility to connect with the most different kinds of people, get to know about their lives and what makes them happy or sad. I'm also a coffee lover, so if one day we will be sitting together, talking about our dreams, plans and backgrounds, I'll probably be having a coffee - and will happilly offer myself to make you a coffee as well. For the last 3 years, I lived in New Zealand in a Working Holiday experience, and now I'm looking for a new adventure in Germany. I can communicate fluently in English, Portuguese and Spanish, I have a basic level of French and I want (and need) to learn German. I can't wait to meet you and to surprise myself with the amazing stories I'll hear from you!

I have experience working in hospitality, making coffee and being a waitress, but also admin work, gardening and cleaning in general. I also have a master in Human Rights and Global Citizenship, and a bachelor degree in International Relations :)

Human Rights are my passion, as well as movies, books, coffee. I can help with:
- Hospitality work (solid experience as a waitress and barista)
- Administrative work (officce, computers, Excel, social medias)
- Language exchange (fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese)
- Cooking (I know how to cook, but would love you to tell me which dishes you like)
- General Housework

Anything that involves communication, art projects and refugees are dearly welcomed to me!

Autres infos...
If you like movies, we're already best friends! But I'm a big fan of deep conversations, where we can exchange our personal wisdom at a profound level. I go along with animals and kids very well, and love activities in groups. I usually try to connect with people that are different from me, so I can always be at a challenge to learn something new. I don't eat meat super often, so would be easy to live at a vegan/vegetarian environment.

Laissé par le workawayer (Helena) pour l'hôte (Help to transform a beautiful ...)

The two weeks I spent in Mol were awesome, and I couldn't be happier with the experience, Lawrence and the team of workawayers I met there.
Me and my boyfriend joined the team for 2 weeks, and we were welcomed by a group of other workawayers from all parts of the world who were already there. The vibe is good, you can make friends and socialize… read more

Laissé par l'hôte (Help us in the garden and ...) pour le workawayer (Helena)

It started as a spontaneous last-minute-adventure for a one-month-time-slot (“the flat downstairs will be empty for some weeks so shall we do a workaway experience?”) and it ended in a friendship we wouldn’t ever have expected.

Helena joyned us together with her boyfriend. The couple came to work in Germany and chose our place as the first stop… read more

Laissé par le workawayer (Helena) pour l'hôte (Help us in the garden and ...)

This was my first workaway experience, and the only thing I can say is: it couldn't have been better! Virginia and Chris are two beautiful souls who shared with us not only their knowledge, but their lives and our relationship was far beyond "host & guest", I feel proud and honoured to have them as friends now. With them, we learned a lot about… read more how an eco and environment friendly life style can be very possible and even easier than we imagine it to be; the food sharing network was an amazing concept we got to know, as well as other daily tips to be more gentile with the planet, saving resources and money as well.

Virginia and Chris live in a quiet and nice place in Wedau, Duisburg, at a lovely house with a beautiful garden. Most of the work was done at the garden (removing weeds, managing the compost, renovating the paths with new tiles, cleaning the soil, etc.), but we also did some work inside, as renovating a wooden floor & cleaning the windowns.
Virginia was mostly in charge to guide our activities and she showed us with loths of patience and empathy what nedeed to be done. Cooking one meal a day was also part of the work, and we usually had it all together, sharing a good moment of connection and fun.

The accomodation is a lovely appartment with everything you need. The place is comfortable and went beyond our expectations. There are many beautiful places to visit around, lakes and forests where contact with nature is very precious.

During our stay, Virginia and Chris were exceptional hosts and included us in many cultural activities, like a football game at the stadium (Go Duisburg!!!), a street festival, an amazing sunset viewing at The Turtle & The Tiger, and a night of fun with a delicious dinner and some music and candles. I felt very connected to them, as they are the kind of people that are open to new ideas and experiences, always keen to know more about you and your background, with lots of respect and appreciation. We were also very welcomed by them to learn German words and expressions, and they taugh us and encouraged our language practice.

Virgina taugh me so many things and made my stay so meaninful and fun! She taugh me how a compost works, how to wash my clothes using ivy leaves, and how to spot the "Little Bear" constelation in the sky. I will be forever grateful for her friendship and for our meaningful conversations, that really enriched my soul.

Thanks to Virginia and Chris (but also Mädchen and Edel), Duisburg will be forever in my heart, and this experience will always be a highlight in my memories! ♥️
