Hi, my name is Melina, I'm 25 years old and from Germany. I’m an open-minded, positive, and curious person who enjoys learning from others and embracing new experiences. Having lived in my university town for more than five years, I’ve recently completed my studies in elementary school education. Now, I’m excited to take some time to explore Europe, broaden my horizons, and immerse myself in different ways of life.
I’m adaptable, responsible, and always willing to lend a hand wherever it’s needed. I believe that Workaway is a great way to combine traveling with meaningful connections, and I’m looking forward to being part of this exchange of cultures and ideas.Interests

More details about your skills
I'm very flexible. I'm great with children, I love animals and I'm also intersted in doing physical work. I am very clean and tidy, so I can do any general housework. I worked as an au pair for one year, as a teacher for elementary schools as well as an English teacher for seniors. More recently, I’ve been involved in babysitting and dogsitting, which have further strengthened my sense of responsibility and care.
I’m open to trying new things and always eager to learn. I’d describe myself as a quick learner who thrives in diverse environments and is ready to take on any challenge with a positive attitude.Age

What else ...
I am a very social person and spend a lot of time with my friends. I've been living in flatshares for more than 5 years and have always been very close with my flatmates. I love to read, swim and go for walks.
