I'm Melissa. Wife to a wonderful husband and mother to two joyful kiddies.

Our family is saving as we are saving right now. Our plan is to travel south America for up to six months and live in Spain for up to a year. We may do this in reverse order. I came to the conclusion planning this far in advance is too hard. We already have three options!

What we have decided, is that we will leave our jobs at the end of 2016. We are determined to see Australia and New Zealand before we depart for South America or Spain.

We are on here to meet other travellers. I love to talk travel and countries! I love to hear about others' experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here so we can meet travellers with kids! Your stories will inspire us. We are looking forward to taking our children around the world, hopefully within the next 18 months (it seems like a big goal, but I think we can do it)
