Description
Film and audiovisual arts graduate, I love travelling, getting to know new places, lifestyles and people. I've studied and worked in Canada, USA, France and Portugal. My professional experience is quite eclectic, I've had a bunch of different jobs in the film industry (festivals, distribution, promotion and PR) and translation services. I also have some experience in the hospitality sector (waitering, kitchen staff, tourism). I am a true nature addict. I come from Sopot, a city in Poland by the Baltic Sea, and I cannot stay away from water for a longer period of time. Love seas, oceans, watersports, hiking and all kinds of activities in nature.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Ada)

Ada was a fantastic help during the olive picking season and also the horses duties. She always had a fantastic can do attitude towards the work and the evening cooking. She always had a big smile and nothing was to much for her to take on. We cant wait to host ada again and I can a sure you that the other host will feel the same. We wish you all… read more

Laissé par le workawayer (Ada) pour l'hôte (Help with horses and farming ...)

Everything at the Quinta will make you feel at home from the day one! It’s a place to clear your mind, to meet fellow travellers and the incredible team working at the farm, and most importantly: just to be yourself, and you will feel that from the very beginning. You will spend your time in a beautiful farm, surrounded by animals (dogs, horses,… read more chickens) and nature (beautiful fields to stroll around and vegetable and fruit garden where you can pick up whatever you want!) and be welcome to take advantage of its facilities (swimming pool, yoga classes) in your free time after work.

I stayed at the Quinta for a month and most of it was the olive picking season, so I mainly worked with two other workawayers and Portuguese workers in the field, picking olives. I had a really fun time, got to know a process that was entirely new to me and enjoyed every minute of it! The work was never too hard, always in a great atmosphere and we had a lot of laughs. I would never have thought that I'd discover a passion for olive picking but that’s about what happened!

On some other days I would help Andy with horses who are so well taken care of. For the first time in my life I saw horses who were so happy and free. Like Andy likes to say, „horses are here just to be horses” and it really feels that way, although just like people, they need to make an effort from time to time! The tasks with horses included grooming, washing, fetching them from the field and walking them back, mocking out the stables and cleaning the riding equipment. Don’t worry if you have none or very little experience with horses, it will be all explained to you very well and how advance the tasks will be will also depend on you. Andy is very patient, fun and always concerned that the workawayers feel well and at ease! In the evenings we often hung out all together, sitting around the campfire and sharing stories, playing games, watching movies, going for a walk to the nearby pond with the dogs, cooking. We also went to the famous Golega horse fair together which was really interesting to see and made trips to the towns nearby, like Tomar, Santarem and of course Lisbon (the train station is very close so it's very convenient whenever you feel like a city break). I also started my adventure with yoga at the Quinta thanks to great yoga classes led by Richard!

All in all, staying at the Quinta was unexpectedly generous and gratifying experience for me, it really felt like a privilege to be there and I would love to be back next year! Thank you all the Quinta team and hope to see you again soon! <3
