Description

Hello! My name is Stella Meillon, I am a native bilingual French/English speaker from Colorado. I just finished my undergraduate studies in mechanical and global engineering, and during my time in school I spent a lot of time pushing my understanding of different cultures.
I like to dance, cook, explore the outdoors, play guitar, and learn about new languages and cultures.
I find myself happiest when I'm in new situations and with wonderful people.
My goal with any workaway is to build strong relationships with local people and learn about different cultures and lifestyles.

  In the US I can't eat gluten, but when I'm abroad it hasn't been an issue for me! I may also have to avoid potatoes, but it's not a big deal if I have them sometimes.
