CURRENT MISSION

Life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself.

ABOUT ME

My name is Melissa and I am from Mexico City but Iive in Paris. After living in Montpellier for three years and Lille for one year and a half, I am now officially a Parisian since 2019. I love to travel, discover other cultures and meet new people.

I did a bachelors degree in Foreign Applied Languages and a masters in Intercultural Relations and International Cooperation, specialising in Latin American countries. I love learning other languages, I speak fluent Spanish (of course, my first language) English and French, but I have in mind learning other languages too, like Italian.

I also have a very special love for my own country, Mexico. I always invite people to visit Mexico because I have always thought that it is an amazing country, with lots of culture and incredible people.

PHILOSOPHY

I love music with social commentary/criticism, like Calle 13, Ana Tijoux or Manu Chao.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Living in France, every day of my life I learn something new and I love it! It has been an amazing experience so far.

Also, visiting the Iguazú Falls and the seeing the Andes in helicopter in South America , one of the most amazing things I've seen!

My recent trip to Turkiye was also amazing.
