Description
My name is Sophia and I am currently taking a break from work life as a physiotherapist in Germany. I have decided to come to Sri Lanka for a few months to live more slowly.

I'm a yoga teacher and can offer classes here but I'd also like to try some new things, especially working outside either with plants or animals!
Looking back to my last travels 8 years ago I've realized I'm much more looking for a project or some place to stay for a while to settle and get familiar with the people, than to go for sightseeing.

I'm passionate about the mountains, trailrunning, acroyoga, cooking, deep talks and silence.

More details about your skills
As I have worked in a few restaurants and on a campsite before I'd say I'm doing quite well with cleaning, housekeeping etc., and cooking which I enjoy a lot. Apart from that I am a fit person and wouldn't mind to do physically difficult work. I'd love to learn more about foodgrowing, especially considering the environment. What I am probably best at is work with customers.

I am beyond grateful for this month in the little jungle village! From day one I felt accepted and welcomed like family, starting with a camping trip with Thilina and his friends.
I've learned a lot about how to build a house and got some of the best tasks ever like roofing e.g. - it has been quite an adventure! Very satisfying work being outside… read more

I spent only a week here and it was over way too quick! Everything seems to be very different culturewise but don't be afraid about that - it is what makes this experience so unique :)
Faisal is an extremely motivated and talented "youngster" (haha), thanks for such a fun week. Also the family is absolutely lovely even though they don't speak… read more

Sophia was very helpful, willing to help wherever required.
Her English is very good and she is a very capable person.
On the last day Sophia cooked Pancakes for breakfast and they were very nice.
Highly recommend Sophia.

My stay here was a really good time! Thanks again to Harry and Lynda, they were such nice hosts and their sense of humour is amazing. It was also really nice to work with Jim and Lorna, the 'cleaning bosses', they always cared about us and are just lovely!
Fair enough, Greymouth is not really 'the place to be' and in the beginning I was afraid I… read more
