Description
Hi! I'm Sophie. I am an open-minded and curious person who loves to challenge myself and try things I've never done before. I'm in my early twenties and I have just graduated from university with a degree in Film Production. After being in full time education I want to start learning by getting out of my comfort zone. My interests are hiking, photography, playing the guitar and learning languages.
It's been a goal since I was young to travel the world, gain new perspectives and learn languages. I have always wanted to visit Japan to explore it's culture and practice my Japanese which is why I am doing a Work Holiday visa from September 2025 to September 2026. l am hoping to grow through new experiences whilst travelling through Japan and make some new friends along the way! -

More details about your skills
I have had hospitality jobs in the past that include being a bartender, a cashier in a grocery store and a waitress in a cafe. I am polite and friendly towards customers, I can learn new things quickly and I have great organisational skills.
I have some experience with farming as I have worked on small farms and gardens through WWOOFing - you can see the feedback I've received in my photos.
My sister and best friend both have small children under 5, so I have experience playing with and taking care of babies and young children.
I have also had numerous jobs that involve photography and camera operating, mainly for live events and performances. -

What else ...
In my free time I love learning new songs on the guitar and trying to come up with my own songs! I also love reading drama and fantasy books, drawing, walking or hiking in beautiful areas, swimming in the ocean and lakes, knitting scarfs and crocheting little animals!
