Description

A short update:
I am travelling/ looking for a new place to call home together with my boyfriend Kolja & our kind and quiet Husky-lady Pharu.

We have both travelled and worked a lot in diverse corners of the world and love to explore new landscapes and cultures. The past 3 years we have been living and working in Hamburg, Germany - but Germany is just not our place. Since quite some time we have been dreaming of just packing our car and making our way south. And this is exactly what we just did ☺️ This time not solely for the purpose of travelling, but to maybe find a place we can call our new longterm home.

So mid September, we packed my little Polo and just started - over France, the north of Spain to currently Portugal.

Through our travel and work history, we have been able to develop a broad set of skills and experience. What unites us, is the developement we both did over the last years. I come from a business background, Kolja from the music industry. My path started with Yoga, Kolja's with a healing journey in South America. We both went on our very own ventures - back to ourselves and nature. Kind of in the middle we met, developing together/aside from each other since then, with a blend of both paths, realizing that the values and experiences at the center of both paths are very similar, creating synergy.

To get a little bit more insight about us and what we have to offer, I wrote down a little overview of our experiences, strengths & interests:

Sophia:
- Yoga teacher since 2018 (online & in studio), holding space for cacao ceremonies and (women) circles. Developing in the field of sound baths, massage & horse-assisted sessions
- Business background: communications, marketing, IT, event-management, brand developement, finances etc.
- I really enjoy organization, event-management & communication/ community-building
- Experienced in building websites
- Experienced in gastronomy; I love to bake, cook & host people (I would be super interested to learn more about growing my own food and medical herbs)
- A lot of experience with horses (growing up with horses and spending every day in the stable until 18)
- I love sports, especially anything with boards: Surf-skating, snowboarding & surfing
- Crafting: Sewing, making jewelery, makramee etc. as well as building (especially working with wood)

Kolja:
- Energetic healer (empowered by Taitas from the Tribes of Inga and Kamëntša in Columbia)
- Crazy about music: with a great love and knowledge about music in general, working in the music-industry (booking, tour-management & merch), playing guitar himself
- A great cook
- Building, especially working with wood & mechanic work, especially cars & motorbikes
- Sports, especially running & hiking
- Spending lots of time in nature
- Strong knowledge & interested in meditation, plant medicine, universal knowledge & creation
- A huge heart for animals - very special connection with dogs
- Passionate about writing & arts (especially painting & making music)
- Very interested to learn more about self-sufficient and sustainable living, (e.g. permaculture), spiritualit development & creation

Pharu (our Husky-lady) is very kind and well-behaved. She gets along easily with every human and other dog. She loves to be in nature, especially at the beach, in the forest or snow. Big advantage of her being a Husky - she does not even know how to bark ;)

Kolja and me love to have deep conversations as well as just having fun. We love to connect with people but also need our time and space to reatreat. We bring a warm & positive energy as well as a hands-on mentality and willingness to support where hands are needed. And we are very open to and always love to learn new things :)

We are looking forward to our next experiences :)
