Description

Hello Hello,

Sophie here...I'm 27 years old, and if I had to give my job a fun title, it’d be “bread baker, wine drinker”. I’ve been traveling on and off since I graduated from uni in 2019. The past few years I’ve been based in New York & Philly! I helped open a restaurant in Philly a little over a year ago and have been cooking & baking there. Despite always working in hospitality, it wasn’t until I started traveling and working on market gardens when I fell in love with it. So making good food and sharing it with people is my main thing/what makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. (That and mamma Mia)

I’m on holiday right now and am looking for a fun workaway to be apart of from August 12-19th. Such short notice, but hopefully it’ll work out somewhere with someone! Mainly looking at places in the UK and Ireland, but open to all of Europe!!

I'm interested in learning more about sustainability, market gardens, cooking (for dining experiences), baking, woodworking, building, ceramics, human centered design, education systems.

Workaway is a great tool to for learning and exchanging skills, but I've come to realize that it's often used as a means of free labor. I have two extra hands that are excited to help, but I'm interested in a legitimate exchange of skills/knowledge.

In regards to COVID-19, I'm happy and willing to follow any quarantine/self-isolation guidelines hosts & countries have in place.


Random stuff I've learned since University:
- Views are better together
- Sharing is caring (Mom was right, it's true)
- Everyone deserves good design because design is dignity.
- I've never met a person who doesn't enjoy music
- Eat real food
- But also, wine maybe should be a food group

Cheers,

Sophie

What else ...

Ive been tied down in the states for the past two years, so I’m excited to be entering back into the workaway world! In the past, I’ve done stays at a B&B in Scotland, helped with content writing at an adventure sports tourism business in Montenegro, worked on a small holding in Northern Ireland, then I tapped into my creative side as an artist assistant in Galway, Ireland, and then my personal favorite, was working at a delicious Market Garden in Scotland. Although I've used workaway before, it was more of a means to travel inexpensively, but this time (2024/2025), I'd like to use it as a tool to learn and develop new skills in a new culture.

A few things I love:
- stories
- community
- hiking
- wine & coffee & food
- cooking
- baking
- reading & writing
- films




Excited to share a meal with you! (hopefully)
