Hello! My name is Melina and I am a nurse and a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zambia. I grew up in California but I have been traveling my entire life. Probably like you, I love to travel and meeting new people! I love being hospitable and am a very respectful house guest. I am very new to CouchSurfing so I am excited to meet more people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet locals and see another side of life in a different country. I love staying with locals and seeing a place through their unique perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are too many to choose! But I will attempt

Music: Queen B, Leon Bridges, Macklemore, Billy Joel, and any type of Jazz. I love singing too, so if you catch me humming you can tell me to stop!

Movies: I love Wes Anderson films, Terrance Malik, and anything with Meryl Streep

Books: Recently I read, a Prayer for Own Meany, King Leopold's Ghost, and the Subtle Art of not Giving a f***... all masterpieces in their own way. I love reading, in particular, theology. Yes. I am a nerd.
