Description
Hello everybody!
My name is Sophie, I am 21 years old and living in Germany.

Currently I am studiyng psychology in Cologne and during my vacations (March, July, August) I have plenty of time that I want to spend travelling, learning new skills and meeting lovely people! I am a responsible and hard-working person who loves to face new challenges with a smile on the face. Growing up in a big family I enjoy company and living in a community a lot. During my time as a volunteer in Italy I lived together with people from all over the world and it made me love exchanging cultures, talking in different languages (I speak German, English, Italian and Spanish and a little Polish) and having fun together in a group. Furthermore I have a passion for doing sports of any kind. In my free time I am running track and field and playing volleyball but also like other activities like climbing, badminton or hiking. But I would also like to try new things like surfing or snorkeling. Besides that I really enjoy working outside or with animals, reading and playing with kids (I worked with children during my year of volunteering).

I am looking forward to a time of being in the nature, becoming friends with strangers, living in the beauty of our world and learning and growing together. My previous expenience with workaway was absolutely wonderful and I would love to have more of this.

Please feel welcome to contact me if you have any questions about me or my life!

Sophie was absolutely super. So lovely, really friendly and polite.
We thoroughly enjoyed hosting her during her oh so brief stay. We honestly would have been so happy if she had stayed much much longer.
Sophie helped with General George (our resident pig). The chickens. Trimmed back trees. And helped repair a wall. She was hard working and could… read more

I lovely two weeks at the farm! A peaceful place somewhere in the countryside on top of a hill. I was welcomed by everyone with kindness, cuddles from the dogs and lots of hot water bottles.

For work we got up in the morning, had a cup of coffee and then fed the chickens, Steve and of course George. Most of the days we were working on the olive… read more

When we first started two years ago with workawayers it was a little bit hit and miss with the quality of the workawayers but let me tell you (spoiler alert) when we got Sophie from Germany they broke the mould and she has raised the bar to another level. It's hard to believe she is only 19 years old her life skill and enthusiasm for work puts in… read more

I can highly recommend this place for everyone looking for spending an amazing time in Italy! Originally I was supposed to stay at the place for two weeks in March, but they convinced me to stay at least a few days longer and I wish I could have stayed forever. Me and a friend worked together with Jo, Tony, Nic and Jack (the best "good boy" ever!)… read more

Left by host (Help me with permaculture ...) for Workawayer (Sophie)

Sophie is a very spontaneous and intelligent girl. She has a lot of fun and enriches everything she does.
She integrated right away, even though it was her first experience, being an active and sensitive part of the house.
She stayed with us for a month and we did a lot of different things, from composting to building, but she always completed… read more

Magical - maybe this describes my experience at the borghetto in one word. I stayed for a month and in this time I got to see and learn so much. About myself, about permaculture, about Italy and the people. The place and all the friends I have met are people of heart. And so is the project and the work. You can feel that everything is made with so… read more
