Description
Melanny:
I'm a explorer... I'm Venezuelan and in the last 12 years I've lived abroad and I've been finding/paving my path and the best way to accomplish my life mission.
I got a degree as journalist and and I've got more than 15 years of experience. Currently I work as proof-reader/editor, translator and writer. I love what I do, and my aim is do something with meaning to help out other people and at the same time grow as a human/spiritual being... everything in a dimension of abundance and freedom :).
Btw: I'm interested in psychology, especially junghian school, tarot, yoga astrology, spirituality, sewing (especially up-cycling), alternative lifestyle and so on.

I spent more than one month at Monika and Ralf's place and it was a great time. I ate super delicious food, I learned a little bit of German and I had time to work on my own projects. On my b'day, they made their best to make that day nicer. I'm really grateful about that!! :) :) They also took me a couple of times to visit nearby places and even… read more

Even when I stayed just one week (I would've loved to stay longer), I felt very lucky of having had chance to meet Clemens and his friends, who were super friendly and welcoming. At their place I felt totally at home in a beautiful, relaxed and nurturing environment.

Having Melanie with us was a wonderful experience! She was always punctual, reliable, and very discreet. She helped my daughter with her homework, showing patience and dedication, and was flexible whenever we needed an extra hand.

My stay at Rosanna's place was wonderful. I had the chance to discover the city centre (from her place is easy to move around on foot), to share with her friends, to know a little bit about the region of Italy she comes from and I even had time to work on my own projects. Top!! 😄😊🌞

We spent 10 days with Melanny and we really appreciated her generosity and kindness. We shared good times and she worked a lot with me to restore and build a small house. It was difficult because the work was in Marseille and we had to leave very early in the morning because of traffic jams. She is really a hard worker.

First of all, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be at Christian's place. Being there, even if for short time, was a blessing. He was very kind, generous, patient and respectful. I hope that life/God/Universe will pay him back for what he did for me.

Where do I start
Melanny spent a few months on board, she really made the most of her time here, always happy to help and put the extra hour in as well as making friends all over our little community. We would welcome her back any time with open arms. Good luck in your next adventure Mel.
