Hello Hello,
Sophie here...I'm 24 years old, graduated from University in 2019 with a degree in Ministry, as well as Creativity & Innovation. Those areas of expertise have helped shaped who I am and are continuing to influence my everyday life. That said, I've been spending the past year exploring opportunities & experiences that will hopefully give me a more specific idea of what I want to be pursuing in life.
I'm currently interested in learning more about Sustainability, Market Gardens, Cooking (for dining experiences), Design for Change, Human Centered Design Consulting, and 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

I've spent nearly 7 months volunteering through workaway within the past year. Starting at a B&B in Scotland, then helping with content writing at an adventure sports tourism business in Montenegro, a small holding in Northern Ireland, then I tapped into my creative side as an artist assistant in Galway, Ireland, and now I'm back in Scotland volunteering at The Free Company in their Market Garden. Although I've used workaway before, it was more of a means to travel inexpensively, but this time (2020/2021), 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
- reading & writing
- films
- good/thoughtful design
Excited to share a meal with you! (hopefully)
