Hi I'm Melanie, I'm from the East Coast of Australia and am currently travelling with my boyfriend of 3 years (Torie- https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/toriemathew) around Europe for around 6 months and can't wait to experience new places, cultures and meet new people!

I'm a really easy going and fun person who loves to have a chat :)

I believe you should always treat others how you would like to be treated and that life should be well traveled, so that you can meet as many different and interesting people in your lifetime as you can :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to meet new people, share my own adventures and experience different cultures with the locals rather than just the usual sightseeing in cities.

Not only does it help out financially to Couch surf, but I have heard nothing but good things about Couch Surfer. So on this trip I am getting out of my comfort zone and trying something different to the usual hostel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went scuba diving in Santorini which was beautiful, exciting and scary all at the same time! I've also been to Egypt and Jordan which we're a big culture shock and eye opener for me to see how lucky I am and appreciate what I have :)
