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

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

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.
