Hello beautiful people, My name is Melvin. I am a nature-loving, calm, and private individual who is looking to visit Europe briefly this year 2023 and return better planned next year.
I cherish the rural life, farms, quiet places among nature and hope to learn the ways and trades of self sustenance in a civilized community. As a technology professional I'm eager to learn trade-skills by doing work and helping you. I do enjoy dogs, fishing, helping in short-projects (next year would be longer) and i am open to learn new ways of getting things done.
My roots are of the Malabar coast but i have been an American in heart for over 14 years now.Interests
