Description

Hello Potential Hosts :)

My name is Mel and I’m at my absolute happiest when I’m connecting with people, nature, and experiencing new places and adventures. Its the simple things that light me up – swimming in the ocean, sharing stories over a meal, dancing, or watching the sunset with a nice cold beer.

What motivates me is learning and giving back. I love helping out in whatever way’s needed – whether that’s gardening, cooking, supporting others, or sharing some yoga and movement. I enjoy being part of a team, but I’m also comfortable working on my own.

For me, travel isn’t about rushing around – it’s about slowing down, experiencing local life, and contributing to the places you are welcomed into.

I look forward to connecting with you! :)

More details about your skills

I have a mix of practical, creative, and people-focused skills that I’m excited to share:

- Helping people: I’ve worked in support and community roles, and I really enjoy making others feel comfortable and cared for. I'm currently working in a Disability Support role and love the challenges and joy this type of work brings.

- Hands-on work: Gardening, tidying, basic maintenance, organising spaces – I take pride in looking after places as if they’re my own.

- Cooking & hospitality: I enjoy cooking simple, tasty meals and helping create a welcoming environment.

- Creative & wellness skills: I’m completing my yoga teacher training and love sharing movement, meditation, and creative practices. Music, dance and paintingare also big parts of who I am.

- Professional background: I have a Masters Degree in Architecture and Diploma in Project Management. I’ve worked mostly in project management and planning roles, so I’m organised, reliable, and good at keeping things running smoothly.

- Languages: I’m a native English speaker and currently learning Spanish/ French – keen to practise!

I’m adaptable, quick to pick up new things, and happy to pitch in wherever I’m needed.

What else ...

I love hiking, swimming, surfing, being outdoors and exploring new places, cooking, and getting to laugh with others over stories

For me, my creative outlets are really important to me. I enjoy drawing in my sketchbook, painting and playing guitar/ukelele, dancing, and singing (sometimes badly, but always with heart!).

I’m always up for a good board game night – favourites are Monopoly Deal, Uno, and anything that gets people laughing. I also love reading, especially stories that make me think or inspire adventure - I especially love Sci-fi and Murder Mysteries.

I’d describe myself as curious, playful, and easygoing. I’m happiest when I’m learning something new, connecting with others, or just sharing a simple moment of joy. I also love making people laugh and being silly.

And for me (Connor), my creative outlets are: music - playing my keyboard, learning and practicing new languages, bicycling, rockclimbing, reading (scifi/adventure, crime, or non-fiction to learn new things!), yoga, and a bit of watercolouring if my other interests allow time for it.

A new hobby of mine is photography although I do not currently have a camera and kit with me, and I am also a BIG tech nerd at heart - (techno and technology to be honest) - but I never let it interfere with being present with my environment and with people.

My career is within Project Management and I have experience with start-ups (specifically Agriculture), but all in all I am just here to breathe, connect, and carve purpose in myself and others lives. My social battery is extra EXTRA large and I never tire of being around people and sharing life experiences and stories.
