Description
olá!

i'm beatriz, 22 years old. i'm from portugal but i've been living in belgium/netherlands for the last 2 years. before that, i workawayed non-stop with about 15 projects and families for a year.

i thrive in communities with like-minded people - i cherish all the friendships i made with my hosts/roommates during my time travelling. i'm mostly looking for places with a community of workawayers, rather than one or two.
this is actually how i found my way into my current home, i came across an off-grid community in belgium and stayed there for a year. from there onwards, everything flowed until i officially moved and started working in the city nearby :)

i'm really into meditation & yoga. i volunteer often at a buddhist retreat in belgium as a cook and i recently completed my first vipassana 10 day course. that's 10 days of pure sitting meditation, no talking, reading, nothing. you could say i don't get bored easily :) I'm a pretty mindful person.

i was attending art school before leaving portugal and in 2025/2026 in intend to go back there and take a course in herbology. i'm really into art, music (with my handpan), fire dancing but also gardening, drying herbs, cooking vegan food.

thank you for your time, and i hope you have a great day!

i had a truly magical time with this family! i stayed for a week only, but it was more than enough time to get to know them and to get some things done.
i worked mostly in their beautiful vegetable garden, with some other minor tasks here and there, and i was overjoyed to have been given a creative task towards the end of my stay :) i hope the… read more

Where to start? Ana left yesterday and we already miss her company. She's so much fun to be around, in her very own special way, she definitely is a light In this world. And she made our life much easier while staying here. So all good!!
Ana stayed with us in November 22, short but beautiful. She helped out with my frenzy rearranging the sheds,… read more

Ana, a workawayer with experience, made us aware that every host has their own rules and that as a guest you have to adapt to them first. It is very important to us that our guests use little energy and water! Ana showed understanding for these rules, but had to slowly work towards them. And then the time was up.
It was very nice to have Ana with… read more

It's been a great pleasure getting to know you, Ana. You have been a daily inspiration and joy, with your creativity, determination and curiosity to try new things. During the month you helped us here, we got to know you as an open-hearted, reliable and diligent person, and always very cheerful and kind to everyone. You showed a big interest in… read more

i spent a month at synnøve and jens' place, and it truly felt like home to me. i started by chalking their walls, and then moved on to more creative work, like painting a mural, sculpting, painting signs for the workawayers' hometowns and sewing a scarecrow! i was doing some smaller tasks in between, like weeding, digging around the little pine… read more

i was initially going to stay in olga and ole's farm for two months, but i chose to leave early. i arrived a month before they opened to the public, when there was a LOT of cleaning, painting and repairing to be done.

there are some downsides that i wish i'd know about before i came, but a lot of positive things as well!
