  • Description

    Hello everyone! :)

    I’m Sonja, a 22-year-old girl from Germany, currently travelling through South Africa.

    I’m studying Environmental Sciences and have recently spent some time at the University of Venda preparing for my bachelor’s thesis. I’m now working on my thesis while travelling and exploring this beautiful country.

    I love being outdoors, discovering new places and experiencing different ways of living. I’m especially interested in nature, sustainability and hands-on projects, but I’m honestly open to pretty much anything! Whether it’s gardening, DIY projects, maintenance, working on an eco-farm, helping around the house, cooking or whatever else needs to be done – I enjoy getting involved, learning new skills and lending a hand wherever I can.

    I’d describe myself as a friendly, reliable and adventurous person. I love activities like hiking, climbing, camping and swimming, but also enjoy music, playing board games, cooking or simply sharing good food and conversations with people.

    I’m always up for new experiences, learning something new and a little adventure! :)

    Looking forward to meeting you!
