  • Description

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Mel. I'm a 26 years old multimedia journalist & documentary filmmaker from Belgium/Germany, a passionate and adventurous traveler (the more remote the better), an absolute animal lover, a volunteer in many different social sectors and a positive human being.

    Currently, I am looking for a project close to the ocean, either volunteering in a Surf Camp or at an animal shelter.
    I am hardworking, easygoing, always happy and a very social person. I can help with anything where help is needed - preferably in the area of hospitality (I was a waitress for 7 years), being a social host would be completely my thing.
    But obviously also everything that has to do with photography, videography or Social Media I am happy to help. (I will also bring my own gear, good camera & drone)
    I am also the biggest animal lover, I was born and raised on a farm. I had my own horses, cows, dogs, bunnies, chickens and cats. So, also in this area, I can help.

    I am still working as a freelance videographer and have some project to finish while volunteering at your place. That's why I can't offer to work more than 5 hours a day. Though, I am flexible. I can work one day 12+ hours, if I get the next day off. As you prefer. :)
