INTRODUCTION
Olá! Hello!
I’m 26 years old, Portuguese, and I hold a Degree in Law. I've lived in Lisbon, Izmir, Madrid, Warsaw, Vienna, and Stockholm for the past four years to study or work. I also returned from a gap year in Southeast Asia in late 2023. I continue to pursue opportunities that inspire my academic/professional/personal journeys while expanding my worldview.
As you can tell, I have a strong passion for travelling and for learning more about today's political, social, and economic realities. After university, internships, publications, and a job, I am on a soul-searching journey to understand what makes me genuinely happy and fulfilled in all relevant spheres of life.

WHY WORKAWAY?
I am looking for environmental-related projects as this is the field I would like to specialise in (fingers crossed, I am accepted in a PG program starting in September 2024!).
I want to learn more about climate change, sustainability, and conservation with first-hand ‘field’ experiences to become a more conscious citizen and well-rounded young professional. Hopefully, Workaway opportunities will also leverage my MSc applications in a year.

MAIN CONTRIBUTION
- Content Creation & Social Media
I have worked for over 3 years with English, Spanish and Portuguese publications, and I produce travel-related written content. A personal website/portfolio will be launched soon but in the meantime check my PolarSteps profile to get a flavour of musings: https://www.polarsteps.com/SofiaFerreira23

- With guidance, anything you may have in store for me!

OTHERS
I also want to learn more about yoga, meditation and sound healing. I completed a course on ‘Meditation & Mindfulness, the Art and Science of Self-Transformation’ in March, and I’m currently looking for further education in this domain. The goal is to feel comfortable creating and guiding meditations and build a community/network interested in self-inquiry, self-care, mental health…
