Hi there, my name is Melanie but my friends call me Mel! I was born and raised, and still currently reside in the Bay Area, California, which is why I’m eager to travel and learn about other places outside of California. I love to learn new things, meet kind individuals, and explore what life has to offer.

Currently in South America ✨
Hmu if you’re in Brazil or Chile!
