Hey all! I'm an avid traveller who's just joined the unemployment line to kick start a tumultuous journey of solo backpacking! I've previously tried teaching English in South Korea in an attempt to travel and also make a living, but found I was feeling too settled and unhappy with it. Despite that, I definitely want to be able to experience the local life (just for shorter time lengths than on a working visa) and would love to make new friends along the way!

Although I am very new to couchsurfing, from the few people I've met so far I've come to discover how invaluable the experience is. I've met wonderful people with amazing hospitality, and it's made travelling solo much more fun and exciting sharing it with like minded people!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To try out something new and different, to experience travel life that's not all about touring, to make new friends

Intereses

As a travel project, I am currently maintaining a blog (jessicamelanie.net). It's relatively behind on my travel, but it's giving me muh enjoyment being able to create stored memories to share with others.
