Hello, I‘m Melanie, an 25 year old recent graduate, open-minded and always up for adventure. Since August, I‘ve been on the road as part of some sort of gap year. I hope to find a job along the way and a new place that I can call my new future home! Since my exchange year I completely fell in love with Hong Kong - hoping to build my future there✨

I am enthusiastic about other cultures and languages (Yes, I am a huge foodie!), which I love to dive into when I am traveling. Besides languages, I love nature, hiking and climbing.

Sharing time with me will probably be easy-going, since I am a warm-hearted, energetic and thoughtful person and hope to share my energy with you. I am pretty empathetic, caring and enjoy to have some good deep conversations with people. Also, I get excited about activities of all sorts, may it be doing some active stuff outside, partying all night long, trying all kinds of food or just relaxing and sitting in a cafe. I am looking forward to become your buddy for no matter what activity 🫶

Also: I appreciate to meet people who are open-minded and tolerant. I care about LGBTQ community and hope to find people with a similar, tolerant mindset. 🌈
