Description

Hola a todos! 😊
I am Sophie, an 18-year-old traveler from Austria and I would describe myself as an open-minded, communicative, thoughtful and optimistic person.
Seeing the world has been my dream since I was a kid and now that I have just finished school, I want to take the next couple months to explore Latin America.
What I hope to gain through travelling are life-lasting memories and meaningful encounters with people from all over the world. I truly want to get to know the different cultures of each country, understand the realities of people's lives, and learn many new things and skills during this time. I prefer slow tourism and eco-tourism over rushing from one place to another just to see as many places as possible, without being able to really process the experience.
Regarding the tasks, I would say I am fine with most kinds of work, and I am willing to acquire new skills. Moreover, I would love to be able to practice my Spanish.
Let me give you a bit more of an idea of what kind of person I am: I love having meaningful conversations and spending quality time with kind people, as well as I enjoy some alone time where I have the opportunity to read a good book, journal a bit or do sports – especially going for a run. Besides that, I really like cooking, spending time in nature or exploring a vibrant city.
I am really excited to get to know you soon!

More details about your skills

I don’t have that much work experience yet, but overall, I am a hands-on person, and I am willing to provide help wherever needed :)
I speak several languages (German - my mother tongue, English – C1, French - level A2) and I am currently learning Spanish (at the moment level A1-A2). I am also a communicative and social person, so I would love to engage with other people during work, for example when working at reception.
Besides that, general maintenance tasks like cooking or cleaning would be totally fine with me too.
