I'm Mel. It's a short name, but that's it

TO HOST/TO SURF:

I don't think CouchSurfing was created just for not paying some hotel or hostel. It is about more and if I host you I hope you want to really have good vibes and moments here and not only a free sleep.

Same for me if I am requesting someone, what I really want is to explore the world and learn about the cultures and different ways of thinking and living, as I share the best moments I can with every human being passing by my life.

ABOUT MY LIFE:

I'm born in Bayonne, a French city, but I was raised up in the north of Spain until I reached my first 4 years. My parents separated, and then my mother and I moved to the Canary Islands, a little atlantic paradise, warm and open-minded place.

I grew up in Tenerife as the kind of teenager who wants to be friend with everyone. That made me nowadays being someone who would like every person to be okay and in peace with others and himself/herself.

Today I'm a passionate architecture student. I moved to Valencia to start a new life as university began for me, so I currently live here and enjoy this beautiful mediterranean city and the people who live in it.

I CONSIDER MYSELF AS:

Open-minded. I'm really on for any suggestions about life enjoying, activities to do, disciplines to learn, as long as I have time for them. And if I don't have time, I'll definetely try to find it somehow.

Philosophical. I'm a very reflexive person. I often try to answer deep existential questions. If I'm alone, then I get it out by writing. If I'm with others then I love to discuss.

Sporty. Rugby is my highest passion in sports. I find the game having lots of things no one can see until playing it. That said, I like any form of sport, but specially when I can test my body limits.

Funny. I do enjoy a lot jokes and I think humour really takes an important part in each culture. I also think someone has a good level in a language as soon as he or she can understand humour in that language.

Calm. I'm really into meditation and calmness. I try to learn by myself and books all I can about the power of the mind and how to turn it off when it's needed.

Adventurer. I love to travel to different cities and natural sites. I am the kind of person who thinks every place has his own beauties, something I think every couchsurfer should understand.

Now that you have read all of that, know that I'm a person like you! I have my good days, bad days, things to do, studies/work... So just keep that in mind and try to respect others as you would like others to respect you!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I want to meet amazing people from all around the world, knowing any person is amazing in an unique way. Above all, I like anything able to blow my mind.

MY FILMS:

Into the Wild and Happy Accidents are some of my favourite movies.
I'm also in love with strange movies such as High Rise or Funny Games.

MY BOOKS:

I'm fascinated about architecture, art and ancient culture (in general) books. I also love reading about existence, meaning of life and meditation books.
For particular novels, the more they're weird the more I like them.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

I decided to live abroad by myself. Im currently studying a career which passionates me and I try to work to pay myself some flights around the globe.

Oh! I can also touch my nose with my tongue.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

We can share our stories, ideas...
We will for sure learn bad words in both of our languages... I can teach you some Spanish and French basics, since they are native languages to me.
Maybe hang out late by the beach, do some meditation, or trekking in the mountains.
I also love to party, ¡Just invite me to!

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

Valencia is one of the most importants cities in Spain, a beautiful place to live and to visit. If I have free time I'll show you around the city center, the beach, the arts and science zone...

We could have calm plans like meditation and philosophical conversations.
We could have funny plans like playing games with some of my roomates.
We could have animated plans like grabbing some beers, chupitos, billiard and maybe partying!
