A BIT MORE ABOUT ME

As I said, everybody has a unique story!

My name is Sofia Walker. Born 10 Jan 1990. I am half Finnish, half New Zealander. I grew up in the beautiful summer and winter landscapes of Finland, then in the tropics of Singapore where I was fortunate to travel. I moved to London for university in 2009, completing degrees in MSci Geology & Geophysics and MSc Business Management from Imperial College London. During a gap year I pursued my love for fitness and health as a Running & Health Coach. In summer 2016 I moved back to Finland, have been doing freelance work and am constantly looking for exciting opportunities!

I believe it is important to live life doing what you love, through experiences, and taking on challenges. Health, fitness, and running are my passion. I have completed many half-, full, and ultra-marathons, triathlons and endurance events. I love setting myself challenges, for example last year ran a 100km ultra-marathon, showing my dedication to achieving goals. I do extensive reading related to fitness, nutrition, and overall wellbeing, as well as photography, writing and blogging on these themes. I also love the outdoors where your mind can relax and enjoy the surrounding natural wonders. I enjoy travelling as it allows you to experience new places, do unforgettable things and get out of your comfort zone. I believe in a balance approach to health and happiness – all aspects of movement and physical fitness, rest and recovery, good nutrition, time in nature, a positive mind, and awareness coming together to bring out one’s best.
