My name is Melinda Thomas, and a young but responsible girl from Holland. I love to travel and wander a lot. I like to meet new people, but I'm also very curious about other cultures and languages. Besides that I love good food, good conversations and laughing together. But sometimes being alone and doing your own thing is as important as socializing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I already visited so many places all over Europe (and some outside). As I like to travel alone, I am interested in getting to know other people and make friendships all over the world. The next 7 months I will be staying in Italy for study and work. I hope to make some good trips, learn about the Italian culture and meet a lot of new people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Of course I do like traveling movies a lot. My favorite movie is Under the Tuscan Sun. Maybe because that is like the biggest dream of so many girls and women.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing ever was going on my first (long) holiday outside Europe, when I went to Cuba. I felt so young and got to know myself so well during and after that trip.
