Hello :D
I am Melina and a 26 year old student from Zurich and are going to study environemental science next year and try to learn spanish rn. At the moment I am living in Thailand from March-November 2024 :)

I am an artsy, creative person in general. I like to crochet, paint with acryl, journal and read a lot.

Some more things about me:
I love food soo much ! I love to cook and try out new things all the time. I love learning new things.

I try to do eceryday meditation and yoga. Swimming is also a big passion of mine, doesnt matter if lake or river or sea :) When its nice weather i like to go with my friends hiking in the Alps close by. (Sometimes if you ask a farmer nicely they will let you camp on their land for free :D)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people and hear about their lifes, what inspires them, how did they end up living in that city or how did they got their specific jobs and so on. I think I can learn a lot from people all over the world. For example learning how to cook a specific local food :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw 2021 a Babydolphin with his mother jumping at the same time out of the water in Portugal - it was absolutely amazing ✨

I got a tattoo of a blue penguin, and I have a nice travel story to it :)

I like to meet new people all over the world.
I can cook some nice dishes and teach some German/Swissgerman words if you like. As mentioned I like to draw, so I could maybe do a small drawing for you, if you want (preferably animals, not good in drawing humans) :D
