Hi, my name is Melissa and I am from Austria. I really love seeing new places. Moreover, I started traveling alone when I was sixteen years old (for example france and new york city.) The best thing is to meet local people in different countries and experiencing their culture. I am Austrian so I speak German fluently. I did my exchange semester in Toronto , so my English is quiet good. My mum is from Cuba, so I have family there, and of course in Austria.🥰 I would love to meet people from all over the world. I love to have conversations and learn from people and hear from their experience. I am adventurous and prefer the type of travelling where you stay in a hostel and meet many people that are “like you”. Some of my plans for the future are climbing some of the 7 summits (other than Kilimanjaro). I started going to the gym and train, since my goal for next year is Aconcagua in Argentina or Lenin Peak in Kirgistan💫

doing a Scuba and Sailing Certificate,go to flight school, living on a sailboat/van for a while and somehow travel to Antartica! ⭐️
