Hello Hello!! This is Bea, one of the volunteers of Casa da Horta. After several troubles that slowed me down to moving to Porto I finally managed to climb to the highest room of the tallest tower to say goodbye to the princess and pick up the dragon to came here with me. I wanted to participate in a project that had a real connection with the values I have, and this place was without any doubts Casa da Horta. Although my journey has just started I already feel that I’m really a part of the project. It wasn’t easy at first, as I didn’t know anybody here, nor the language, but with a little bit of time I’m finding my place in Porto in general. Of course its not everything flowers, cats and rainbows in here. As I am a very sensitive person sometimes it’s hard for me to face the fact that to reach some agreements and understanding its necessary to discuss, and as we are very different people, to fit our expectations, feelings and ways to relate to the world can be tricky sometimes. This fact is also exciting. I see it as an opportunity to grow in an individual context and in a collective context. About me…I think I’m an active person, interested in knowing the local reality and willing to get involved in the different projects that are around me. I’m also forgetful and scattered, which means that I have to put a lot of attention to my goals if I don’t want to get lost in the process hehehe. Basically the dragon and I are very happy to have this great opportunity and just want to make the most of the experience!!
