Hello to everybody that discovered my profile;)

My name is Melissa and I am learned childhood educator. Working with people, especially children, brings me lots of joy. That's why I started studying to educate myself further.
In between my study life, I love to gain new experiences and push myself out of my comfort zone. I am a flexible, reliable and open-minded person. I am always keen on seeing new sides of the world and am always up to tag along when you have an unknown hobby or a special interest.
In my free time, I like to read books or go on walk and appreciate the nature. After I moved out of my hometown I started playing handball again, which I've been doing for round about 9 years now.
Throughout my stay I look forward to learn more about a different culture, acquire new skills and meet many inspiring people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As I only have had couchsurfing for a short while now I must say every day I try to enjoy most and value it.
In Poland I had the luck to have the possibility to try out winter swimming (my record is now 30 seconds) and in Ireland I was once rock climbing, which I enjoyed more than I thought. That’s why I love to try out anything unknown to me, you never know what kind of joy awaits you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am in the process of learning chess so I am always up for a challenge. Either way I love the art of experiencing something new
