Description

Thomas and I just finished our studies and what better way to celebrate it than spending a year in Canada!

Thomas completed his Bachelor’s degree in sport science and I did my Master’s degree in psychology. As we have both been travelling before we started our studies, the question of what to do before we jump into our next stage was not a hard one to answer.

I, Sophie, always needed a brake from time to time. After three years of travelling I settled for a quieter and a more routineous lifestyle in Constance where we both met. I enjoyed studying a lot but now it's time to fill my head with new impressions again. I love hearing other people's stories and while travelling, I try to get at least a glimps of a person's normal life in all the different cultures. And I love to combine my love for nature with sports, rounded up with good food.

Thomas’ main interest is spending time in the mountains – alpinism, climbing, hiking, skiing, road biking, but whatever sport you might suggest, he would be able to succeed quickly. I would describe him as open-minded, extrovert, compassionate and super easy to talk to. He's been travelling with friends and by himself, exploring the natural side of every country he visited and lived in.

We've both tried wwoofing before in NZ a long time ago but we're new to workaway. So working and sharing interests at the same time is nothing new to us =)

More details about your skills

Thomas: Lately I have been working in a climbing gym as a climbing instructor and route setter. I was mainly working with children but also taught the requirements and skills one needs for safe climbing to adults. I worked in vinyards on every step of the process and did the odd job on farms.

Sophie: During my studies I mainly worked as a nurse in various psychiatries. But before that I worked in climbing gyms and did a lot of waitressing. On the more physical side I worked on farms, mainly in NZ, helping with the harvest, managing 900 cows, pruning apple trees.
