Description
Hello all !
As I have a hip prothesis and must protect it, I need someone who can help with the cleaning, putting things away on the attic (I must convert my ex-office into another bedroom), with the garden (cut the bushes and grass and clean the flower beds), taking photos and producing listing to sell things I have in the attic, etc
If you have some skills on bikes, that'd be great, because there's one that must have 1 tire replaced so you can use it
This moment I'm taking care for some new born puppies that were rescued by an organization I collaborate with, so if you are an animal lover as I am, you can help me when I give them bottles of milk and bath - and they will be able to play with you before going to back the organization to be adopted
----------------------------
NO SMOKERS, please!
3 hours help / day - no work on weekends
We offer the room to sleep and you can use the kitchen for your meals, of course
THIS TIME we can take 1 person for some days/1 week ONLY
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a teacher of Portuguese - you can learn Portuguese as in a Total Immersion Program

Accommodation
A single bed, a charriot to hang your clothes, a desk with a chair
What else ...
You can go to Guincho Beach by foot in 20 minutes
In the neighbourhood you have a horse riding school, tennis lessons, dance lessons, you can just go to one of the cafés to hang out with local youngsters and/or watch football matches, you can go to Guincho Beach by foot/bike, you can go with a house bike to the mountains on the back or to the town center, for more beaches, bars, etc. You have a bowling place you can go by foot, or you just can hang on the garden swing or a sun bed outside to take some sun and rest. Lisbon is less than 30 km away, and Sintra around 10 km, so you can also visit these places

Host accused me of forcing her to operate around my time, I tried to reason with her and reach a solution but she cancelled the Exchange after one night.
It was a gross overreaction
After 2 months asking me to come and"help", I decided to choose him over other 6 people who wanted to come... what a wrong idea I had!!!
As far as I know now, he agreed on an arrival date when he KNEW he had something else... so after telling… read more
Maria is a fantastic person, kind and nice she offered me a bed at the end of a long journey where I had only slept in a tent and I and my back would always be grateful to her for that.
I was a guest at his home in early September and
working for her was fun, we painted a room, mowed the grass and I helped her in everyday… read more

He was a precious help while staying here :-)
Not only executing each "project" very well, but while he was here I got COVID (even though I had the vaccine) and he was a helping hand before I had to stay at the… read more
Thanks to Isabel for hosting when another host canceled my accommodation at the last minute.
Her house is in a very good location, close to the beach and much more.
