Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a physical theatre director, performer, and fine art model, slowly working on a masters at Dartmouth. I did a solo trip for 5 months in 2019 to 14 countries across Latin America and Europe, and now am working to incorporate good chunks of travel into my life in a consistent way. Particularly trying to explore the US and research concepts of community culture and the role of artists in forming the foundation for a healthy society.

What I Can Share With Hosts
I love to sing and will be grateful to any host who wants to share some songs together! I'm an excellent cook- I love using local, seasonal ingredients to improvise something scrumptious. I'm very easygoing (actually) and just happy to share some spirited conversation and get to know people in a genuine way. I am a very enthusiastic dancer and love to learn new forms or just go crazy out and about wherever there’s something playing!
