Description
Here to experience other ways of life, share knowledge and inspire eachother.
I'd describe myself as an open, curious, playful, responsible, sometimes chaotic person, always approaching creative ways.
I'm interested in living a connected life with nature, visual art, dance, textile and much more. Since five years I'm living in Basel (Switzerland) but I grew up in Zurich. Two years ago I finished studying textile design and before that, dance (contemporary and improvisation) and art education.
At the moment I'm working in a textile workshop in a social institution for women which I enjoy very much, although its though sometimes.
I was spending one year traveling and living in Spain, Marokko, Ecuador and Mexico - experiencing and living with the different cultures really impacted my life.
I love being with children, at the moment I'm regularly working in a primary school over lunchtime, that offers lunch for the kids in the break. Some years ago I worked in a nursery school and since a young age I did a lot of babysitting.
A sustainable and preferably organic way of living and consuming is important to me, as well as a caring living together.

Sophie may have been here awhile ago but we will never forget the time she spend with us. Its hard to sum up experience you have with someone in a few words. All i can say is anytime Sophie wants to come back she is always welcome. She is really one of a kind and we were lucky enough to have her spend 2 months with us.

I'm so sorry for my late Feedback, but it's never too late to just thank you for this incredible experience I've made last year in Ayampe. From the day I arrived I felt home by the best surroundings, wonderful human beings and nature.

I've spent wonderful days with Mjriam at her amazing place. The house is in in the middle of wonderful nature and even it was raining and really foggy, it felt magical. Mjriam and Daniel are wonderful hosts and always want the best for the volunteers. I'm actually just living 1.5 hours away in Zurich, and could come really spontaneous, because I… read more

This place is just breathtaking and incredible! I went there the first two weeks of October, so the highsaison was already over and there where just the last two concerts on the weekends. The house is just right on the beach and next to the most beautiful paseo i've ever seen, through a protected landscape which was just so beautiful. Under the… read more

I spent one and a half month working in one of the hostels and it was a great experience! The pension is situated in the very center of the old town, where always something is happening. Also the flat where all the volunteers live together is just around the corner. The work is easy at the reception and I learn much Spanish. I had to work 4 hours… read more
