Description
Hey, my name is Sofia, a 33 year old traveler.
I've been traveling for 3 years now. I’ve always been a big traveler and explorer. As of now, thats my purpose in life, to live, to explore, to travel, to continue learning and growing in whatever way that might look given the present moment. That is probably how I would have liked to ultimately start and end this profile, with a simple; “Hi, my name is Sofia and I just want to live” but I’ll add a little more to set some kind of tone.
I’m a qualified yoga teacher, ashtanga primary series mostly. I'm self-studying daily, whether it be practical or theory. I really love it.
I worked as an artistic director, illustrator and textile/fashion designer for many years, all over the world. I have loved art and artistic expression ever since I can remember, whether that be drawing, painting, creating, designing - or/and - dance, movement, theatre, film, photography, writing e.t.c.
I really like being outside in nature, I’m very adventurous, love to explore, a friend of all animals, bugs and insects! I am interested in sustainability, farming, I really enjoy getting my hands dirty, working up a sweat and being physically active.
I’m reading and studying about the subjects I’m also presently experiencing and enjoy. Subjects like: yoga, meditation and consciousness mostly, but also philosophy, theology, mythology, science. It’s all interconnected and really interesting. From my experience, traveling tends to bring about a lot of self-development. I like reading novels too, although I get most of my stories and fantasy fixes from movies generally. I tend to be more visual and creative, so seeing things play out in movies is another way I also love to spend my time.
Despite the fact that I’m new to Workaway, I’ve volunteered and worked in many places: Europe, Africa and Asia, from schools, to hospitality, art projects, farming, cooking, house and pet sitting e.t.c.
What else can I say.. I’m very pro-active, independent, sociable, I tend to make connections very easily. I love people, interacting, sharing moments, exchanging stories. People can be pretty incredible. Throughout the world I’ve had the pleasure of surrounding myself with beautiful people, constantly transforming moments into great memories, dreams into reality and friends into family. Cheesy, but very true. Everything and everyone have become my teachers in life.
I’m happy in balance, there is not much I seek or long for anymore; surrendering to the essence of life itself.
I’ve traveled a lot in my life but never like this, never without an end date or having to return to a specific place at a specific time, but here I am.Interests
