Description

Hi there, I'm Melina!
I love to explore new places and to meet amazing and inspiring people! I am very excited to try and learn new things, especially from people who love what they do!

I love spending time in nature, it is where I feel most alive. In summer you'll find me hiking, swimming in lakes, bouldering, reading by the sea or building shelters in the forest (usually with my younger brother or with friends who are willing to make their inner child happy:)

I love good food, spending time offline, cozy evenings with friends, bonfires, long walks, picnics and reading books. I find so much joy in mundane things like sunsets, smiles, the smell of laundry dried outside, a warm cup of tea, the evening sun shining trough a window and I could go on and on and ooon:)

I also enjoy all kinds of arts such as dancing, singing, photography, crocheting, calligraphy, bookbinding, playing the guitar, painting, pottery and I am constantly trying out new things (pokerwork at the moment, I have a loong way to go:))

I really look forward to learning about new cultures while helping out kind and joyful human beings who love to laugh:)

More details about my language interests
I would love to learn Portuguese one day as well as practicing my English and Spanish, although that is not my priority. I can teach German. My father is French, so I can teach that too, but I am better at speaking than writing in French, as I grew up in Austria:)

I really enjoyed my time on Andrew's beautiful boat, that could be straight out of a book or a movie. There were two other workawayers there apart from me, and since there was not always work to do for all three of us, I had plenty of free time to read in the beautiful living room.
Andrew is a really kind and calm person to be around. He taught us … read more

Melina was very charming to have on board my 111 year old Dutch Barge. She arrived on time, with good communication. She was at a bit of a loose end for a while and needed more direction from me...but I was a bit busy with so many things going on. It didn't really matter though as she enjoyed the down time I believe and we got on well. She did do … read more

Flame was really kind and welcoming, we had a lot of good food, amazing snacks and she always had a lot of stories to tell. We were originally there for stage managing work, but due to an artist cancelling at the last minute, we now had to fill in for the missing showblocks, which was a lot more work than what we anticipated in the beginning. It … read more

Five Stars is just not enough for this magical, talented, helpful and beautiful soul.
Melina originally planned to come here to have an important but low key role singing a few songs with a jazz musician, some painting and decorating, and stage managing a show with myself and my child students for a fundraising event.
Unfortunately just five days … read more
