Description

Hola a todos - mi nombre es Sofia, o Sofi (:

Most of my friends know me for always wanting to go on an adventure, big or small. I am a very adventurous, outgoing, and sociable person. I enjoy finding new spots in nature and find myself happiest when I'm away from too much buzz, although a night out every once in a while is nice, too! I love diving deep into a country's food, traditions, and people which end up creating my most memorable moments when traveling.

My friends describe me as a wise soul, as I love to go deep into philosophical questions or expain odd dreams. Others call me wild, as I tend to do very spontaneous and unconventional things. All in all, I'm just a girl yearning to experience all life has to offer, including talks with strangers I will probably never see again and getting lost in places I can't even pronounce. I am so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had to travel, and hope to show my gratitude to local communities through this work im doing. For me, It’s all about the different communities and people around me who can share their own history and experiences to build connections.

A little bit about me is that I love to be creative. I love photography, writing, being creative, rock climbing, conversations, and yoga. They give me that little bit of time to express myself. I find myself spending the most time hiking and being outside. Sunsets/sunrises are a must in my life, as well as good music, good food, and good drinks, and especially a good laugh (: Sharing laughs and smiles with people, including those I’ve just met, helps me remember why this life of travel I chose is so beautiful. I will never pass up a good time, or chances to connect - its how those memories are created.

My previous Workaway experience:
1. Off-grid permaculture farm: worked with the land and the animals, built fences, prepared meals.
2. Hostel: Organized tapas tour with other volunteer, cleaning, engaged with guests, other odd jobs, painting
3. Hostel: Chiloé Island, Chile. Worked in reception, translation (spanish/english), and cleaning, promoting tours, occasional handy jobs
4. Hostel: San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Helped with organizing activities, cooking, translating, and cleaning.
