Hello! My name is Melissa. I am an outgoing and friendly person, who has spent the last six years living in Boston. Before that, I lived in South Carolina for 13 years, including attending Clemson University.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am about to move to St. John, USVI later this month from Boston and am hoping to connect with new friends through couchsurfing!

Interests

I enjoy swimming, hiking, cooking, playing music, and singing karaoke. I also like animals, both cats and dogs very much!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wouldn't call this amazing, but I did create a stuffed animal toy called the "Quack-a-dile." It is a stuffed animal that makes the wrong sound when you squeeze it. It was going to be the first in a line of stuffed animals that make the wrong sound. The next in the line would be called the "Grr-owl" (an owl that growls.) This endeavor didn't pan out, but I'm hoping to eventually run some sort of business!
