My name is Mel, I'm 27 years old and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I work full-time as a travel consultant which I have been doing for the past 6.5 years, it's truly rewarding to be a part of other people's travel experiences when I'm not off exploring myself. I'm also studying an undergraduate double degree in Science/Arts, with Clinical Science and Islam-West majors.

My greatest passion in life is to travel. Every year I try to go some place I have never been before, and my bucket list is forever growing. I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new and exciting places and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new friends from all walks of life all over the world. If you're a fun loving, easy going, compassionate and understanding human being - then we are going to get along perfectly!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music style is folk and acoustic, some of my favourite artists include Pete Murray, Ed Sheeran and Passenger.

I enjoy thrillers and heart felt dramas. My favourite director is Christopher Nolan, and some of my favourite films include the Dark Knight trilogy, The Prestige, and The Danish Girl.

I mostly enjoy fantasy and true crime books. My favourite book series is Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 I travelled to Iceland. There is a lake that runs between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates, and so you're essentially in two continents at the same time when you're in the water. Snorkelling in 2 degree Celsius, 2000 year old, crystal clear glacial water remains to this day one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and one that I will never forget.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my soul - I'm honest and open person, I'm laid back and caring. I want to bond and make new friends for life, with all sorts of interesting backgrounds. I can share stories, I can share my ears to hear your stories, and I can share my heart.
