Hello! I am Melina and I live in the beautiful Kiel right by the Baltic sea. I like going on big and small adventures, many of whom involve train delays and wrecked nerves.

Since I've started a grown-up job and can no longer take as much time off, CS is a great opportunity to bring the world into my own home.
I enjoy hostimg requests that involve self made poems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just like to peek into peoples lives and learn about the many different ways how one can spend it - I've met professional football players, Airforce pilots, musicians, farmers and lumberjacks.

Interests

I practice yoga and meditation, am part of a wonderful community garden project and a band, love winter swimming and Sauna, and do a lot more that I cannot do regularily since time appears to be a rather limited resource.
