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 without misusing it :)
I`m very interested in different cultures and new languages and would love to practice surfing, which I started to do last summer :D At home I spend a lot of time hanging out with my friends while doing all kinds of activities, playing guitar, singing and learning how to juggle, love being outside and always prefer company over loneliness.

Unfortunately I haven't got much experience in farming and construction, though this is what interests me most, but I already spent about three months with permaculture gardening, tree planting, preparing flower beds and harvesting. Besides I would love to learn some Russian or Arabic, relearn French or Italian or use my Spanish skills, find some time to read all the books I own and start being creative again. 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 :)

More details about your skills
Well, so far I mostly worked in hospitals or with children but I would like to do something different before starting to work as a pediatric nurse. 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. Last october I spent on a farm, taking care for the goats, doing some wood work and harvest and process some vegetables, apples and walnuts. Well and in 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 :D
I'm reliable and learn fast, especially interested to learn something about farming and construction :)

Sophie was a great help in our team, full of positive energy, hands-on, doesn't mind heavy work and is definitely the number one branch breaker - 😉 - so if you take her to the forest to collect firewood, you can count on her karate skills (!!!). She is mature and independent, very responsible and with lots of team spirit. I really enjoyed her… read more

My stay at Iris and Gianluccas farm was just great :D I wrote to them last minute and was probably lucky, that it seemed to fit with the other workawayers, so I arrived there just two days later. Iris has clear expectations towards her volunteers, she values punctuality and it were always 4,5-5hours of work a day but in exchange you get so much… read more

I stood four weeks with Dominique and had a great stay :D Dominique is very open-minded and likes to talk about many different things, his territory and garden are just incredibly beautiful and I learned a lot. Dominique was always very patient with my poor French skills, we did a lot of activities together like yoga, kayaking and picnics and he… read more

Sophie is willing and daring to do anything, there's nothing she is afraid of. :) She stayed with us for three weeks, unfortunately it was raining most of the time so we couldn't do everything we planned, but still Sophie was a great help. Sophie likes to sing and play the guitar so she was making our rainy days brighter with her music. She worked… read more

I stood for almost three weeks with Ría and David and it was great. It rained a lot, then we only did what was necessary to do outside, chilled at the fire place, made juice, read or made plans for a green house, but with nice weather there was a lot to work on in the garden and with the animals. Ría and David are very open minded and caring… read more
