Description
Heyo, we are Melanie (but you can call me any variation of that name really) and Maya :) We are close friends for many years now and our home base is currently in Vienna. I live in a shared apartment with two close friends, Maya lives in a apartment with her brother. We are currently traveling in South America while I am taking online classes in PR and Online Marketing / Content Production, Maya just finished her degree, she is a tailor. We love meeting new people, seeing new places and getting inspired by the vibe of a country and its inhabitants. I love to read, write and to climb, a year ago I really got into bouldering and never stopped since. Maya really is into music, sewing, movies and anything creative really.

We are really motivated workers with a hands-on mentality, and can't wait to meet all you guys!

It was a great time with the company of Meli and Maya. They're very smart and interested in discovering new things, a new culture, open minded to explore and also to exhange all about their own culture.

We stayed a week with Leandro and Ashe and enjoyed our time there a lot! During our stay, we helped them with some garden work and housekeeping chores, but it was very chill all in all.

We spent two wonderful weeks at the Chacara!
we were expecting to stay with a lot of other volunteers but we soon noticed that that's not the case and we spent the first week with just one more girl, but we were very happy about that :)
