Hello everybody,

I'm Melanie, but most people just call me Mel. I grew up and live in Berlin. Currently I travel through the US West Coast with one of my best friends Ly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Coachsurfing seems to be a wonderful way to meet and connect with native people who can show you parts of their cities you would never see as a tourist. It's also much more interesting and exciting than just staying in a hotel, because you are in contact with people from all over the globe and hopefully some nice friendships can develop through it :)

Interests

Right now I'm trying to teach myself Yoga through Youtube videos and I'm really interested in spiritual topics and meditation. Also I just started taking ballet lessons, which I really enjoy. And I'm vegan and always try to educate myself about animal welfare and I go to animal welfare demonstrations and other activities when I have time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm more into music than into films and books.
I mostly listen to recent British Indie Pop and Rock, Britpop and some German Indie artists. I love going to concerts and festivals. If we have a slightly common music taste then I could talk with you about music for ages!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of information about Berlin, Germany in general, Russian culture, mostly British Indie music and veganism.
