Hey! I’m Melly and I started solo traveling the world with my camera in May 2023 after I quit everything back home. I lived in Augsburg, Germany for 10 years, but now it’s time to move on and do what I love the most - traveling!

I think traveling is not only about new places, new cultures and new experiences - it’s about the people (and dogs 🐶) you meet.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I enjoy meeting new people and hear about their lives, dreams, perspectives and experiences - and locals can always show you the best of their city.

Interessen

Traveling is my biggest interest, but there’s also photography, art, music, diving and experiencing new things.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
