Hi! My name is Melanie. Currently living in beautiful Vancouver Island, BC Canada. I'm taking a short break from work to embark on a memorable milestone birthday trip! I am looking forward to meeting locals, sharing good meals and memories. I have couchsurfed in Alaska with a friend and realize we used her account to do so. I'm hoping I can host in the future, but my living arrangements limit my ability to do so since I rent a room with a family.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet locals as this is usually the best way to travel and discover the less "touristy" places!
