My name is Amelia but most everyone calls me Molly, either one is fine.

some of my interests include:
~35mm film photography
~practicing yoga and sitting in meditation
~slacklining in the park
~listening to people speak foreign languages
~reading on rainy days in coffee shops
~basking in sunshine, especially on the beach while covered in sand
~bouldering (so far indoors mostly, but I'd love to climb outside more!)
~waterfalls, especially ones you can swim in
~baking brownies and cookies

I could write a lot here because I love to talk about myself, as do most people I think.... but you will learn all you need to know about me when we meet in la vida real 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best community ever :) when traveling, I love to connect with locals instead of just going by myself to typical tourist spots. Making new friends is one of my very favorite things to do!

Interests

Some of my goals include learning to skate or longboard, mastering the French macaron, learning to trickline, becoming scuba certified and eventually go diving in the great barrier reef!
