Description

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 recently graduated from agriculture school and would love to learn about how different farms/ranches operate throughout the world.
Some of my hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, geocaching, horsemanship 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!

In the summer of 2023, I spent 4 months travelling Canada, from BC to Quebec, doing farmstays and living in my car. I am excited to continue my travel journey internationally!
