About Me

Hola! Mi nombre es Melisa, de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Soy vegetariana y me encanta cocinar y probar los platos típicos de cada lugar, especialmente en mercados locales.
Hace unos años dejé mi trabajo como Profesora de Nivel Inicial en la gran ciudad para viajar por el mundo, mientras conozco distintas escuelas y niños por donde voy.
Espero que puedan ser parte de mi viaje y compartir nuestras experiencias!!
(Ahora viajando por Colombia)

Hi! My name is Melisa, from Buenos Aires - Argentina. I am a vegetarian and love cooking and trying different dishes, especially traditional food from local markets.
Few years ago I left my job as a Kindergarten Teacher in the big city to travel around the world and work abroad. Hope you can be part of my trip and share life experiences.
(Currently in Colombia)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Porque me hizo conocer la verdadera hospitalidad, encontrando gente hermosa en cada país. Me ayudó a entender más sobre la cultura y el modo de vida, sintiéndome menos turista y más parte del lugar al que voy. Definitivamente cambió mi modo de viajar, haciéndolo más genial. Conocer cada destino con una persona local y ver todo desde su perspectiva es tan enriquecedor que pienso que todos deberían experimentarlo.

Because it made me know the real hospitality, meeting amazing people in every country I’ve gone. It helped me understand more about the culture and way of living, feeling less as a tourist and more as part of the place I go. It definitely changed my way of traveling, making it awesome. Knowing every destination with a local and seeing everything with their perspective is so enriching that I think everyone should experience it.
