Description
Hey! We’re Sophia and Graham, a couple from Toronto, Canada, excited to take on new experiences and help out wherever we can through Workaway.

We love learning new things, working hard, and getting involved in meaningful projects.

Sophia manages a yoga studio in Toronto and also works part-time at a contrast therapy studio (cold plunge + sauna). She’s a big animal lover, and previously worked at the Toronto Humane Society caring for all kinds of animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles—you name it!). She also has hands-on farm experience from previous Workaways caring for horses, cattle, and sheep, and has helped with tasks like pruning, harvesting, weeding, and planting. Sophia is very organized, loves being part of a team, and really enjoys helping create warm, welcoming spaces.

Graham is a social worker who creates fun and engaging programs for seniors living with Alzheimer’s and dementia in supportive housing. He’s great with people and loves bringing creativity and humour into the work he does. He’s also really passionate about food and cooking, and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen. In his free time he does film photography and makes collages, and is always finding creative ways to capture or create something interesting.

We’re both CPR certified, fluent in English, and non-smokers. As a couple, we’re easygoing, positive, and love collaborating on projects.

In our free time we enjoy collaging, puzzles, pottery, hiking, swimming, and travelling. We recently travelled to the Grand Canyon and did an epic hike there, which was a pretty unforgettable experience.

We’re friendly, hardworking, and always excited to meet new people and try new things. We’d love to get involved with your project and contribute however we can!

Left by Workawayer () for host (Stay in a funky tower on the ...)

We had such a special experience staying with Caroline, River, their two wonderful kids, and their sweet dog for two weeks in July 2025. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed into their home and their unique off-grid lifestyle.

During our stay, we helped with a variety of projects around the property. We spent time weeding and tending the… read more garden, making sure the garden paths were covered with enough woodchips. One of the most exciting parts was getting to learn how to drive the Kubota! We got to move piles of wood and help even out parts of the land. As self-proclaimed city slickers, we also learned how to use tools we had never tried before, like a whipper snipper, and electric shears. We even helped carve out trails through the forest on the property, which was really rewarding work.

Along with outdoor projects, we helped with cooking and cleaning around the house and got to spend lots of time with the kids. One of our favourite memories was a little road trip day where they showed us some of their favourite local spots. It was such a fun way to explore the area through their eyes.

We also learned a lot about the logistics of living off grid and got to see firsthand how everyday tasks are accomplished in that kind of lifestyle. It was fascinating and really inspiring.

Some of our favourite moments were in the garden. Picking garlic scapes for the first time (and tasting them!) was such a treat, and harvesting the beautiful lavender left our hands smelling amazing all day.

The place we stayed was incredible — the tower property was so unique, and at night we could watch the stars through the sunroof. Being surrounded by birds and nature, and having no internet, made it feel like a true escape.

The community in the area was also very welcoming. Early in our stay we visited a local farmers market to pick up fresh bread and spices, and everyone we met was incredibly kind.

Most of all, we loved the time spent with the family. Sharing meals, swapping travel stories, and playing games together with the kids made us feel like part of the household. We even ended up buying some of the same games when we got back home because we had so much fun playing them there! The food was also amazing — the Dutch babies were to die for — and they were very thoughtful about accommodating Graham’s vegetarian diet.

We are really grateful for the time we spent there and for everything we learned. It was a meaningful experience and one we’ll always look back on fondly.

(Excellent)
