Description

Hey there,

my name is Sophie, I finished my apprenticeship to be a pediatric nurse, worked some months in it and now started studying geoecology to learn more about humans getting along with nature :)
I`m very interested in different cultures and new languages and would love to practice surfing, which I started to do two summers ago :D In my daily life I'm very active, I spend a lot of time playing the guitar, singing and climbing, love being outside, learning about plants, trees and birds and always prefer company over loneliness.

Step by step and workaway after workaway, I gained some little experience in farming and construction, though this is a slow process, limiting itself to my vacation. Right now I'm mostly interested in apiculture, goat keeping, fruit trees and ecological agriculture on a bigger scale, though I also love to learn about ecological construction. I'm not afraid of hard work and always eager to learn new stuff :)
Besides the work I would love to learn some Russian or Arabic, relearn Italian or use my French and Spanish skills, get to know some of my host countries politics and culture. Oh, I'm vegetarian (vegan if possible) and where ever I go, I'm afraid I gotta bring my guitar... Not really great at it but maybe I'll find some time to practice or even a teacher or some co-singers :)

UPDATE 2023: Olli joins my latest trip :)
UPDATE 2024: This time it's just me... :/

And that's me Olli.

One day I want to live on a piece of land in sync with nature and the people surrounding me. Until then there is still a lot to experience and learn to actually bring that vision into existence (in social and tecnical ways). So far most of the workaways we looked at seemed to me like a glimpse on that idea of living. So what I want to experience is your way of living to give me an idea how I can find my place and be at peace. I'm quite convivial and eager to get to know people and the fire within them.

I love doing parcour, writing lyrics (to shy to perform thought but I'm sure that will change soon) tabletennis, volleyball and designing gardens with flowy shapes.

I used to study economics but so far haven't found my place there. My best take is creating sustainable communities with an emphasis on the social embedding as fully living togheter got scarce with the prevailing individualism. Beeing a door I just recently discovered, but did not have the time to open yet, I for now live in Vienna and am doing sports with kids which is very rewarding. Leaving the theories of economic thinking behind I might learn carpentry soon, as I allready enjoy crafting furniture from leftovers. Added to that it might fix the wabble which so far part of all my ptojects . "Prototyping" might therefore describe alot of what I do. But I'm sure as long as I follow my way I will someday arrive. But I'm sure finding like-minded people will speed up the process and fullfill it with ease and most importantly give me the strength and resolution to belive.

Looking forward to meet you and let the energy flow.

More details about your skills

Well, so far I mostly worked in hospitals or with children but I would like to do something différent and collecte more practical skills while travelling the world. I speak English, German and Spanish fluently, know some French and once had the basics in Italian, play a little guitar and love to sing. One october I spent on a farm, taking care for the goats, doing some wood work and harvest and process some vegetables, apples and walnuts. The following november a friend of mine planted a food forest, so I got a little experience in planting trees :) Since last summer I can add an about three months experience with three different forms of permaculture gardening and this year I started having my own garden for the first time :D
I'm reliable, sociable and learn fast, especially interested to learn more about farming and construction :)

Hey and I, Olli am good with kids, know a bit about permaculture, and am quite good at creating things with scarce input materials (including some basic crafting skills). Furthermore I enjoy cocking and yoga.
