Hi,
my name is Melissa, I was born in Germany and grew up in Austria, where I am still living. I'll soon complete my studies and allthough I got a full time job, I want to travel a little bit.
I am an uncomplicated person who likes to meet different kinds of people and travel countries off the tourists paths.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I am on Couchsurfing at the recommandations of some friends. I want to travel to interesting countries all over the world and meet nice people who can tell me more about their country or hometown. I think I can learn a lot more interesting things from a host who actually lives in one place, than from a travel guide or a guidebook. Hope to meet nice people and to have a good time :)

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I think it would be interesting to learn how they cook in other countries, so maybe we can teach each other how to cook a meal thats typical for our country.

I'd like to learn anything interesting anyone can show/teach me :)
