Hi there~ I am Melody Tay :) I was born in Dallas, Texas but grew up in Singapore.

I love singing, dancing, acting, and making art. I love the environment and the world around me.
I love my dog, doing silly things with people, Big Bang, Lee Pace, reading, watching movies, BTS, laughing and plants.

I am graduating this year!! I major in Environmental Studies and minor in the Arts and Humanities. As of yet, the future remains wide open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to invite people to Singapore and make them feel welcome :) And I love bringing people around to places... it's like seeing my city in a different way every time. I also want to travel to places and understand and experience that place through the eyes of people who have lived there for a while and I want to make new friends and real connections, because that's what it REALLY is about.
