Description

Hey, I am Sophia (25 years, pronouns: she/her, they/them)

I am a mostly extrovert and funny person and really enjoy being in nature as well as being surrounded by lovely people. Also alone time and being quiet fulfills me a lot. As a balance in my life I like to be physically active and do things like cycling, strength and mobility training. I want to put my focus (political activism and social work studies) on standing strong for people and animals who are unseen and unheard . I will finish my bachelors in Berlin in winter this year.

I stand strongly against any form of discrimniation and oppression (racism, sexism, ableism, speciesism ad the list goes on) so to make this short: No one is free until all of us are free! This applies for me to humans as well as animals!
I am aware that we all are (obviously including me) in a process of learning and do not expect people to be „perfect“. If you act or speak in a discriminating way, please acknowledge and apologize.

More details about your skills

As a teenager I worked at family hotel for two years in a horse stable with a lot of horses, dogs, cats and goats. In 2022 I have been to Portugal for 5 months and did two workaways (animal sanctuary, horse care) and it was a beautiful experience because I connected deeply with all the animals, especially those that were secured from farms etc. Back then this convinced me again, that living vegan is the only right decision for me! I have been horseback riding for quite some time in my life but I would not do it again after improving my knowledge on veganism over the last three years.

Before Portugal I was in teacher training for kids with special needs and worked at multiple schools. I wanted to pause my studies but ended up with the decisions that I do not want to become a teacher. Right now I am looking forward to finish my social work bachelors and let‘s see what life brings after that.

In 2023 I did a workaway together with my partner in Austria that was super enriching for us. We learned a lot of renovating skills like insulating old stables, making clay walls, building a wooden carport for a caravan to live in and did basic work around the garden and the field like trimming grass, building fences, doing woodwork, etc.

Also beginning of 2025 I moved with my partner and friend into an old flat which we almost fully renovated. We made all the walls, built a kitchen and some wooden furniture like shelves and beds into the flat.

For two years now I am also working in a shelter for homeless FLINTA* people and am used to cooking bigger amounts of vegan food for like 10-15 people.
