Description
Hey there!
My name is Sofie. I am a 28 year old girl, living in the country with world's best chocolate. :)
I grew up at a small farm where my parents have many animals: a dog, cats, chickens, sheep, ducks, ... I like to have them around because they can always bring a smile on your face. Beside keeping animals, we grow organic vegetables and fruit for own use, like peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, berries, strawberries, apples, pears, grapes and more. I often help in our garden, picking, washing, making dishes and of course eating. I like to explore new ingredients and dishes, what is one of the many reasons why I love travelling. I also want to see other parts of the world because you live once so it's now or missing these beautiful places.
I graduated in June 2017 at the university as a bio engineer. Afterwards, I wanted to take this chance of free time to travel, helping as a volunteer, discovering new cultures and enjoying the nature around me. After 1.5 year of travelling, I decided to start a job what I'm doing now for almost 5 years. But I miss volunteering so that's why I'm back on Workaway.
Another thing that I like is learning new languages like Spanish and this works best by doing volunteering work abroad! For me, Workaway means staying with warm people who really believe in this concept of making new friendships and experiences to never forget for both sides.
Beside all this, I love playing with children. Since my sixteenth I've been doing day trips as a volunteer with children of our community. I also did a volunteer camp for one week with children in an amusement park with swimming pool.
I hope this text gives a bit of information of who I am, but you can of course ask the things you want to know that I didn't mention here.
Thank you for reading my description and I hope Workaway will bring us together!
Sofie

I spent 3 weeks at the place of Christiane in September and I really miss my time there together with her lovely children, the dog and the horses and just a beautiful country. It was around 10 degrees but mostly dry weather so I was very lucky with that and could visit some beautiful places around, like the Westman… read more
The jobs that I had to do, were all in my areas of interest, which caused that longer helping days still did not feel like real working days.
- The chickens, rabbits, cat and goats need daily care. I milked the goats, cleaned their stable, gave food… and… read more

I’m back home (sadly) after having volunteered in this outstanding place for 3.5 weeks in January-February. If I look back to this experience, it makes me happy again because I met wonderful people, did nice activities with them, we made tasty food together and the work was not too hard.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful area with me, your previous wwoofers and all the other people around you. I enjoyed the view everyday and took a lot of pictures to show my family and friends where I could stay for 3 weeks in the yellow-red-brownish-coloured autumn season. You can be very proud about the job you did in… read more
Although my stay with you was too short (2.5 week) because I had also planned another host in Scotland, I am so grateful for the memories that I have now in my head and on pictures. The concerts, watching movies, making dinner or desserts, afternoon tea, Ellon market … were moments that gave me the family feeling… read more
