Hey there!
I’m Mel, 24 from Australia and I’m here to see the world!
Travelling is my absolute passion, for me it’s about meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and just embracing the unknown.
I finished my university studies 3 years ago and worked full time in television for 4 years, but now I’m taking a break to see what the USA has to offer.
I’m very easy going, friendly, out-going and I would much rather spend money on experiences than materialistic items.
Outside of travelling my interests include being in and around the lake/beach, being active amongst nature and nights out with my friends.

I'm only new to CS but have heard great reviews of it so wanted to give it a go. I want to find like-minded people who also have a passion for travel and similar interests to mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a great way for me to meet people and allows me to have a more ‘local’ experience when travelling to different places.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I was fortunate enough to go swimming with 17 ft mantarays at night time off the coast of Hawaii. Incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we never stop learning, and experiencing new cultures/ environments and moments in our lives allow us to grow as people.
