Description

Hi! I'm Melissa and I have just quit my laptop-based job in tech in the city of London in search of a new life and career with animals. I've lived in London for the last 10 years and am desperately seeking time in the real rather than concrete jungle, so I'm setting off on a solo trip around Central America to volunteer with animals and immerse myself in new cultures.

I've spent the last 2 years volunteering every week at Stepney City Farm in London, providing love and care for our donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, ferrets, and many chickens, ducks, and geese.

I've been meat-free for two years and care passionately about animal welfare. My long term life dream is to set up or help run an animal sanctuary to provide love and care for animals that would otherwise struggle.

Manual labour suits me too - I much prefer being outdoors than on a laptop and love doing physical challenges and work as well as using my brain. I've boxed competitively for the last few years and am physically fit, strong, and capable. I love adventures and trying new things.

The best word to describe me: enthusiastic! :)

I studied Spanish to the highest level at school and would love to remember all my forgotten vocabulary. One of my goals for my travels is to come home as close to fluent in Spanish as I can.

Autres infos...

Nothing makes me feel more alive than being outdoors discovering something new or completing a physical challenge (e.g. climbing Kilimanjaro, running a marathon, competing in boxing matches).

I love seeing planet Earth in all its shapes and forms.

At home I love music, regularly go to gigs and concerts, and will always say yes to playing any kind of game :)
