The Experience

I am looking for someone who will stay in my house while I am away. My 17 year old son will share the house with you. Also our dogs and cat. There are some cleaning works to be done and if possible some painting/ renovations if possible, as well as helping my son take care of the house and animals.

Inken is such a loving person! The work was quite chill and overall this experience had an excellent benefit for the work you do: you do stay in a beautiful place all by yourself, built with love and care 🥹 the family was going through a tough phase, but I could see all the love that went into that house. I was always treated really well and my needs were taken into account, despite the tough phase. I super recommend this volunteering experience if you want some time by yourself and enjoy the INSANELY beautiful beaches nearby! What a beautiful area of Portugal 🩵
