ABOUT ME

Hi
I'm Melissa ,a 20 year old Ginger ready to conquer the world! I believe that you only have one life, so you must make the very best out of it, by doing everthing you like, whenever you want to. I want to make new friends from all over the world. Share stories, experiences,ideas,... I'm a dreamer and very impulsive, I take things as they come and try to make the very best out of every moment.I'm also into Art, Architecture, design ! I'm ready to create and make people aware of the everyday beauty, try to make the world a bit more a better place in my own way. I spend my days going wild on my favourite music (Mumford and sons, Snakadaktal, Bombay bicycle club, Bon Iver, We where promised jetpacks,...) , eating good food, painting, drawing, making my room a mess (I'm very good at this :p), going to exhibitions with friends and finding inspiration in the things that surround me and completing my bucketlist,...
The place I really like to hang out is H30, where I'm active as a volunteer. H30 is an artistic workplace for people who need a place to go with their passion. A place where I've learned a lot. But enough said about me, who are you and what's your story ...? :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short
to miss out on opportunities !

Laugh as much as you have breath in your lungs

Be the change you want to see in the world

En ik besloot dat ik alles kon
( google translate will help )

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A few summers ago I went to Dublin (on a Friday a friend an I suddenly decided we wanted to go to Dublin , arrived that sunday :p, to give you an idea of how very impulsive I like to be) Anyway, my friend and I stayed in a hostel, which was a great experience ! Met some wonderfull people, had some nice chats. But I felt like I was missing something, which were the stories of a local, seeing the city trough another point of view than the touristic one. After my trip I discovered Couchsurfing and now that I have, all I want to do is leave as soon as I can and start exploring :D !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had my first in Berlin and it was AWESOME ! Our host was the best host I could ever have imagined for having my first time. Thank you for making me believe in this amazing concept.
Second one in London didn't dissapoint either , slept on a boat and went to a cool houseparty.

兴趣

MUSIC ! My life is full of music, ever since I was a child I sang whole day long and still nothing has changed ( Don't worry, I won't sing in public :p) Art ! Actually everything that can be called Art :), self-made things, Photograpy ! (still prefer the old analog way) History, Festivals, Theatre (I did it myself, regret it that I stopped) , Traveling ,design, writing,... But most important, interesting people with a story to tell.
But my biggest interest is THE WORLD, I'm here to see everything that is given to me, and I won't stop until I have :D
