Have you ever met a Yogi, Mermaid, Nurse before? No?? I didn't think so, but now you may have an opportunity to. =) Hey there, my name is Melanie. I currently live in Clearwater, Florida. I am very out going and adventurous. I love traveling and exploring new places. I long to be submerged into different cultures for a true authentic experience. What more could you want? Meeting new people, making lifelong friends, plus traveling. I don't believe it gets much better than that!

I am a CS newb, but open and very excited for this journey. A little bit more about me.... I am an RN on an orthopedic floor, also in school pursuing my masters degree to become a Holistic Nurse Practitioner. I live a healthy lifestyle, very active and also a vegetarian. I teach a couple different types of yoga. Also, I am a master/rescue scuba diver, who is also very into marine conservation.
