Description
Hey, I’m Melina!
I’m a 28-year-old from Germany with a background in business psychology and international business. For the past seven years, I’ve been working as a project manager in a German company. In my free time, I love beeing in nature, doing sports and yoga, painting, being creative, and spending time with friends.
In April 2025, I had the chance to volunteer at a wonderful school in Tanzania — an experience that deeply inspired me. It encouraged me to take a break from work and spend several months (Oct 2025 - Mai 2026) traveling, supporting projects, and contributing where help is needed.
For me, Workaway is all about helping out, sharing everyday life, culture and perspectives and learning from each other. I can't wait to meet you!

Feedback
Volunteering at the school in Tanzania in April/May this year was truly one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I stayed 4 weeks and wished I could have lasted even longer!
From the first day, I felt completely welcomed by everyone at the school. Spending time with the kids was an absolute joy… read more
