Fluent in English & Brazilian Portuguese. I am also very competent in Italian although with lack of practice I've lost a bit of the fluency. Spanish is quite easy to understand for me and I can also communicate a bit with it. I also speak Indonesian in a basic conversational level.

About me

Hello! I am up to anything really! I am travelling for nearly 9 years now, having left my home country of Brazil in search of adventures and a life full of experiences. For the last 3 years I've been living an endless summer with my girlfriend. I am a canyoning (or canyoneering) photographer and guide, currently based in New Zealand. My girlfriend and I are interested to contribute and learn while living in organic farms; our goal is to develop a self-sustainable lifestyle in the future, and hopefully be able to host other volunteers as well!

Skills

I have extensive hospitality experience, having worked as waiter in various restaurants in Ireland, receptionist & maintenance manager at a hostel in New Zealand, as a photographer and canyoning guide in Indonesia and NZ (my current passion and occupation). I am keen to learn and love jobs that are hands-on, specially when working with like-minded people. I am travelling with my girlfriend Monika, from Poland, who is super passionate about yoga and the outdoors. Looking forward to sharing some stories and time with you!

Additional info

I am not a smoker, I have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.

Although not vegetarian I have tried to greatly reduce my intake of meat, and I'm fully comfortable if only vegetarian options are available!
