Hello! My name is Melissa and I am 29 years old. I am Dominican-Puerto Rican, born and and raised in NYC. In January, my sister and I will be travelling to South America for a few months and later Europe for a couple more months, before heading back to NYC. Volunteer travel is something we've always done! It saves us money in rent, but mainly allows us the opportunity to chat and meet people from all kind. We've done four months in a hostel in Barcelona and Au Pair in Adelaide, Australia.

What else ...
I am very friendly and open. I love traveling and visiting new places, but more than anything I want to truly experience the countries I’m visiting. I want to be able to feel what it is to live here and make friends with the locals and just feel as a part of the community!
