Description
Hello! My name is Gabriel and I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2015 I traveled for six months around South America and since then I've been traveling. Now I'm ready to revisit some places and discover new ones.
As for my experiences, they are many because I've done a lot of volunteering, but I'm excited about learning new things. I've worked in farms, with dogs, horses, sheep and doing gardening stuff; I've worked in family houses, taking care of pets and children; I've worked in hostels, helping at the reception, laundry, maintenence, painting, breakfast, etc... Also, when I came back to my hometown I worked a year as an English teacher (which I still do online).
About my personality I can say I'm very respectful and easygoing. Won't go through the limits one would stabilish between us, and expect the same. I love reading, learning/practicing languages, working and accomplishing tasks and traveling.

Gabriel helped us with some painting jobs we had postponed in our farm for too long, and he undertook them in a very respectful and detailed manner.
In general he asks before acting upon anything, and he’s very focused, as in zen-focused.
Also he was very eager to learn and practice handy skills, and to share language topics.

It's hard to say when people change from being total strangers to us to people we care about. After few days having to adapt to different ways of living I realized what a beautiful experience I was having. Hector and Magali are amazing hosts, the kind you expect to meet as a workawayer.

Amazing experience in Ibiúna. The place is gorgeous, the work hard and interesting, the people of the best kind - simple and thoughtful - and Alexandre was always very thoughtful with the volunteers' needs and very interested in teaching things related to agroforestry. Thank you for this great experience. Hope to be back someday.

Indeed one of my best workaway experiences. The place lies above the clouds, surrounded by an amazing landscape. The work is mostly gardening outdoors, or helping with the guests and cleaning the rooms. In your freetime you may go hiking and visiting beautiful waterfalls.

Anything I say about this place will automatically leave me in debt with the truth. But, anyway, I say.
