Description
Hello :)

I am Sophie from France. I have recently graduated from a master in microbiology and while I am waiting for a PhD offer I decided to do a workaway. I am looking for a mission between January and March.

Before graduating with a master in microbiology I worked as a physical therapist and practiced in Spain, Belgium, Switzerland and France. I love traveling and sharing new experiences with people. I am a middle distance Elite athlete in track and field. I run 1500m, 5000m and 10km. I obtained a scholarship in my college years for track and field in the USA. There, I had the opportunity to discover North America with the races and make friends from all over the world. I am keen on challenges, and like to be useful in any projects and am also concerned about the environment.
I already volunteered in Ecuador as a physical therapist in a special school with children. I also stayed in a community in the Amazon forest to help with maintenance in the fields and welcome travelers. I am always open to learning new skills, laughing and forming new bonds with people !
I can also renovate and paint as I did in a previous workaway in Spain where I helped in the construction of a villa.

I spent one month with Rita! It was great!! I learnt so much about gardening and she helped me with German learning. She was patient to correct me orally and when writing.

Sophie war 6 Wochen bei mir. Sie war eine gute Hilfe im Garten. Ebenso hat sie mich im Haushalt unterstützt. Mit ihrer charmanten Art haben nicht nur die Tiere sie sofort ins Herz geschlossen. Ihre besondere Zuneigung galt unseren zwei Katzen. 😊
Für ihr zukünftige Studium hat sie intensiv am Computer gearbeitet.
Vielen Dank für deinen Besuch und… read more

We spent almost 3 months at David and Elena's place, we had a really good time there and felt like a part of the family, they are both generous and kind people who always paid attention to our wellbeing and with whom we could easily communicate. The same can be said about the other people we interacted with who worked in the villa with us,… read more
