Description

Hey!
I'm Melanie (21). I, my two little brothers, my parents and our cats live in Ulm (Germany).
I am open-minded and after completing school summer 2020 I'd like to enjoy a good time traveling to other countries. I'd love to learn more about other cultures, meet people and be outside in the nature. I also love spending time and taking care of animals. The past year I worked on different farms in Iceland. Throughout that time I helped with:
•guiding horseback tours for beginners
•pushing horses on horseback from one field to another or home
•the lambing season on a sheepsfarm with 200 mother sheeps
•herding sheeps into the stabel for the winter
•milking cows mostly together with the farmer but also sometimes alone
•taking care of a farm of 90 horses and a dog for 10 days while the farmers have been on vacation
•training a dog simple commands
At home I actively participate in a Scouts group and enjoy the community, the camps and spending time with kids.
