Hi! I'm Melissa, I'm 28 Years old and I'm from the Netherlands. In 2015 I started my first world trip to discover and to enjoy the world and the people in it. Travelling is sooo addictive! Now I'm living in the Netherlands again and I love to stay in contact with travellers .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all I love adventuring, which means for me: not knowing exactly where to end up and secondly I love to meet other people and share our stories :) I'm curious about what drives people in life, I'm open for different views and I'd love to get inspired and I think couch surfing is a great way to experience life in this way.

See the beauty in every moment, have a positive aproach towards life - because when you smile, the world smiles back.

When you always give, you will always have.
