I'm an inquisitive person with a wide variety of interests. I love spending my time with family and friends, exploring the great outdoors (hiking, climbing, horseback riding, etc.), working on projects, learning about the world (traveling, languages, reading, food, etc.) and enjoying my time while doing so! I love meeting new people and learning about their experiences in life.

Many of my adventures surfing have been with my best friend Mel, we made a joint profile so if you want to see more references go here; https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/melanieportal/references

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

CSing is my favourite way to learn about a new place / culture, allowing you to really see how someone else lives in another part of the world. I've had so many wonderful experiences CSing, I look forward to many more!

Surfing and hosting!
