Hello! I am Melissa. I live with my partner Eddie and our dog Holly. You can find us hiking, walking our dog, sharing meals with friends, and going to our favorite restaurants.

I hold travel high on my list of priorities in life. It has brought me perspective and insight that guides me everyday. I love to meet people from all over, and share stories and food.

Notes about Holly (the dog): she is a jack russell terrier mix (iykyk). She is smart and sweet. She will jump on you, and bark more than average, but usually calms down quickly. If you find dog barking irritating, I wouldn't recommend staying with us. She is always 110% down for fetch.

We have both covid vaccines and the booster, and you aren't staying here unless you have them too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Locals know where the good tacos are.

Music, Movies, and Books

Eddie plays in a band. He is always picking up the guitar for 20 minutes. A spontaneous soundtrack to our lives. The record player often has Paul Simon or Kurt Vile sitting on it.

We are both in book clubs, and are avid readers. Eddie works at the library and is always bringing us home interesting finds!

We have Netflix, hbo, and hulu (w commercials) on a smart TV in the main living room for your use while you are here.
