I'm Melanie, a 50 years old woman who loves to travel and meet other people and make friends all over the world.

I like photography and i love beaches.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always try to get to know local people in the country i visit.
Top tourist attractions don't interest me the most, i rather visit areas where the locals go.
Couchsurfing looks to me like a good way to make friends from all over the world and to see countries trough the eyes of locals.
