Description
Hi! I’m Sophie, I’m 19 years old, and I’m from Trinidad and Tobago, a pair of beautiful islands in the Caribbean :) . Growing up, I loved the ocean, nature, and creating things. Ever since moving to Egypt for three years, I've wanted to get to know as many cultures, environments, and most importantly people.
I’m looking for unique experiences and something totally different to what I’m used to before I head off to university for mechanical engineering. I enjoy innovation and am good with hands-on activities and outdoors work.

More details about your skills
I have experience in hospitality, I worked for a year in a restaurant as a Line Chef and a server, also prepping food and making the desserts. I learned about working and communicating efficiently in faced paced environments. I also spent a month volunteering in a hostel, where customer interaction was my main role. I led drinking games and did tour guiding for groups of around 30 guests. I also helped at reception with check ins/outs and did maintenance and cleaning.
I work well with children. I’ve volunteered as an assistant ballet teacher for four years, and also worked at an bungee jumping centre where I was in charge of customer interaction, safety and operation. I also au paired for two children last year.
Over Covid, I started an online small business selling clothing where I learned how to use social media for business, and then used my skills to manage the social media account of a makeup artist’s business.
I am certified in first aid, CPR, and AED.
I can operate an excavator and have cleared roads and helped build car parks with it. I learnt this when I volunteered at a nuclear bunker for 3 months and participated in a lot of construction work to restore the bunker. I also learned basic stone masonry skills and helped give tours during Bunker Open Days.
I love meeting new people and seek Workaways in communities where I can learn about culture. I’m a fast learner and willing to help out with pretty much anything, and would be super grateful to learn any new skill :)
