Hey!

I'm Melissa, a 35 year old teacher from Örebro Sweden. I share this account with my amazing husband/other half Kalle, who has been by my side for 17 years now.
I love Travelling, music, photography, tattoos and street fashion.

I'm a total geekgirl, I love Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Sherlock, Harry Potter, Supernatural, and so on. Geeking is great.

Love the backpacking life, and we've been to 50 countries. Many more to come.
We are going back out travelling in South America between January and July 2025, which means we cannot host anyone during that time, for obvious reasons, but we look forward to try the other side of couchsurfing and meet other hosts during this time, and stay with fun people. Looking forward to another adventure.

I live in a flat in a town called Örebro in mid-Sweden with Kalle. Our place is very central and it's close to everything (About a 3 minute walk to the bus/train station, and a few minutes walk to all the shops and restaurants etc). We're a fun couple who travelled the world together, and we're not the "boring" type of couple, I promise. Haha.

Welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because we both love to travel, see new things, and we love to meet new people! We're extremely social and love to meet people both abroad and back home. We love to show travelers around our little city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big fan of electro swing, but I also love reggae, rock, electro, house, you name it. I'm very open minded when it comes to music, both old and new.
