Hey there! I'm Melanie, a latina who called Canada home for the last 7 years. I've traded my 9-5 job for a backpack to explore the world with my best friend Amanda, and we’re documenting the whole thing on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/melaniebrecht?sub_confirmation=1) and in a blog (nomadichronicles.com)

My faith as a Christian is a guiding star in my life, inspiring me to respect and cherish every individual, extend a helping hand, prioritize kindness, and maintain a grateful and optimistic outlook. I’m passionate about connecting with new friends and immersing myself in the local culture of each city and country we explore. Eager to cross paths with you on this beautiful journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My interest in Couchsurfing stems from a genuine desire to immerse myself in diverse cultures and life experiences. I'm here to forge meaningful and lasting connections, learn from different lifestyles and backgrounds, and share enriching experiences.

Good conversation, practice Spanish/english with you. I’ll treat you to breakfast or dinner :) I can be as involved or independent as you desire. I can hang out with you or I can try to stay out most of the time so I don’t interrupt your routines as well if needed.
