Activities i am interested in:

Hi, I am Meli from Switzerland, 33 years old and just started one of the biggest adventures of my life - I quit my job & now I explore the world. Let's meet up if you are around ✨️🌏
Description

Hi there! :) My name is Meli and I come from the beautiful country Switzerland where I love spending time in the mountains, doing a nice hike with stunning views and having some picnic on top of the mountain. Additionally, I love music - next to listening to Indie Folk, I try myself in singing and playing the guitar. I love meeting new people and the past years have brought me to different countries and each experience has been a blast, although they were so different. There's nothing better than getting to know to new cultures and their people.

mel, Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It truly means a lot to us that you felt at home here and could connect with the rhythm of the place, the nature, and the simple moments that make this place special. We loved having you with us, sharing the mango harvest, preparing the retreat together, and caring for the space as a team.

We hope … read more

I spent two weeks with Eyal and Natalia and loved every minute of it. The place is amazing, sourrounded by mango trees, tranquility, birds and green scenery (I never ate so many mangos in my life!). I did a lot of different work such as collecting mangos, preparing for a retreat, take care of the dogs, cleaning, etc. & time went by very quickly. … read more

The first two weeks, the hostel was still closed and I could help a lot around the house - the tasks were always very diverse and doable for all skill levels :) Once the hostel opened, the shifts were allocated between the volunteers which gave some … read more
