I was able to expand my skillset by learning how to fix generators, pool pump, vehicles and setting up plumbing for chalets and irrigation. I designed numerous fixed fittings and furniture of the lodge such as the pool bar, pool lounges, couches, tables and chairs. I also designed the beach deck and did an environmental study of the area to ensure an eco-friendly construction. I successfully attained a Category C Skippers ticket and learned Portugues.
