ABOUT ME

My name is Melinda I am a student at Cal State Long Beach. I moved here from Lake Tahoe about four years ago and though I love Long Beach I am ready for a change of scenery. I like to be active-go on runs do yoga go hiking or swimming. I also like to go out to the local bars with friends and have a relaxing time.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a box of chocolate...you never know what you're going to get. Ohh you have to love good ol' Tome Hanks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed with couch surfers once, and my couch is opened to anyone-however we have not had anyone stay with us yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When a girlfriend and I went to Spain we stayed with two guys in Madrid. They took us to their favorite bar for tapas and beers that were the size of my head. They were very nice and gracious and it was a perfect first time experience.

Interests

I am a social person I like to go out with friends and have a couple of drinks-but I also like to stay in and read or listen to music. I am interested by science and learning.
