Netherlands View allDescription
Hello!
My name is Mel, and I am a Dutch Canadian. I speak both English and Dutch fluently.
I enjoy being outside and working with animals, especially horses and cattle. I love learning about and working with all sorts of both wild and farm animals. I am currently in school for agriculture and would love to learn about how different farms/ranches operate.
Some of my hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, geocaching, video editing, and working in the world of theatrical fine arts (mostly the technical side of things).
I love learning about other people's lifestyles, and would love to give others a glimpse of mine!Interests
