My name is Melissa, I'm from The Netherlands and I'm currently on summer vacation I’m Spain! I startedim Barvelona and want to do the Camino De Santiago starting in Bilbao :)

Soon I'll be back in NL, studying and living in Amsterdam. Once I'm back, in September, I'll be down to host all you beautiful souls!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to avoid spending money on expensive European hostels, because I want to meet local people and learn a bit about local life, and because I want a house full of cool people when I'm at home!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled a bunch, received so much from people. I'm incredibly grateful for all the people I've met, all the love I've shared, all the information and new perspectives. Everything I am, I am thanks to te beautiful people I've met in my life. I also finished my first year at uni which was challenging and though I know it’s not a ’huge achievement’ I’m proud of myself!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm busy with a lot of projects.... I'm slowly learning how to tattoo, dance salsa, improving my Spanish (though I speak it fairly well now), Tarot cards, astrology, Andean cosmovision, learning how to be a witch...... (I was traveling in Latin America when I wrote this stuff but it still applies) also trying to make more art, trying to ground myself and learn to work with my ADHD, if you can teach me about any of this, or literally anything else, I'm down to learn. I'll teach you some Dutch or Lithuanian or a little Spanish or anything else in return. Or read your tarot cards!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company :) I’m not great at cooking and Dutch cuisine isn’t really a thing. What else... good conversations, my perspective, my energy, I could walk your dog, w/e!
