Hello!
My names Melissa but I go by Mel.
I’m 36, own my own house, have a great job and an awesome pup
I’m a fan of the outdoors, good music and trying new things
I’m pro LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 and think rights and basic human decency extend to all people, male female gay straight and any skin color and all the inbetweens that I didn’t label.
I am NOT a trump supporter so if that’s not compatible with your home I want to respectfully get that out there now so there’s nothing awkward later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve gotten the travel bug and can’t always afford to to do the Airbnb thing. But there is a great big world out there I wanna see

Music, Movies, and Books

Bill Bryson is one of my favorite authors but I’ll audio book almost any nonfiction while I’m working

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been able to wing it on the regular and have it work out better than I could ever have planned, it’s a skill and karma

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots of silly things and am always game to learn more or teach some too

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love having a great conversation over breakfast and coffee or dinner, love cooking too so I’m good at making either of these
