  • Description

    Hi,

    I am Melanie(28) and I`m living in Germany. I'm mainly looking for a little working, refreshing exchange during my vacation from my normal very stressful Job at the local airport.

    You maybe might wonder why I like to spent my vacation working, but let me explain.

    I grew up at the countryside (you can still tell sometimes) and always helped out on a small farm in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we could mainly only take care of the animals, cut hay and prepare the horses for cross-country rides and hunting races. A commercial agriculture was not possible because I grew up in the nature reserve "Westerzgebirge".
    But my routine is a bit rusty, because I had to move to a big city for my Job, but I love to spent at least 1-2 two months a year to get out of the city and to calm down while spending some time in the nature and working with animals again(no worries I always try to be a big help, just the respect and joy needs to come from both sides).

    I worked in different jobs until now, so is in a store, in the fiancial world and now in the aviation industry and I´m pretty sure I will keep working with air cargo.

    You will not be my first host, I was already in Canada/USA for work and travel(2017/2018/2019/2022/2023). To help on several ranches/farms and renovated different buildings in Texas.
    And I always enjoyed it as I enjoy traveling, reading, arts, sports/outdoor activities and spending some quality time because you live just once right ??

    My english gets fluent pretty fast after a few days (understandig is always great depends also how much I´m using it at work.)

    I´m also always willing to answer some questions, if you have some.
