Hey, I'm Mel - a 27 year old Aussie who loves Live Music, Reading, Animals & of course Travel! I tend to travel solo so am always keen to meet like minded travellers along the way to share some crazy adventures with!

I'm a sun/water lover so have decided to give another dreary cold winter in my hometown of Adelaide a miss this year! So instead I shall be backpacking across the US & Central/Latin America for summer this year (June - August 2016). I have already booked a lot of my stops along the way so am not really looking to couch surf as I already have accommodation sorted but am more in search of people to catch up with & sightsee/party with at night, attend events with etc....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To hopefully make some contacts to meet up with while I'm backpacking solo through America this summer ( June - August 2016)
