CURRENT MISSION

Be happy!!!!!!!!

ABOUT ME

My name is Melisa, I am from Argentina and half italian. I´ve been travelling in NZ and Australia almost two years. My goal was mostly learning english, but in Australia I found more than I was expecting. I lived in a little town called Cardwell, North Queensland, for almost 7 months. Was the best experience I´ve ever had: Cardwell is a small town between the mountains and the sea, No party, no nightclubs, everything was about fishing, and hanging out in the nature. Is a place I won´t forget coz I collected really good friends there, we could say friends for ever... After that beautiful experience, I decided to travel around the East Coast before coming back home. After two years travelling, and meeting such extraordinary people I decided I was not ready to stop and coming back to a routine. After 6 months back in Argentina I decided take my courage and backpack again and have another new challenge in Australia, probably the last one before settle down. So I come back for one more year for working and travelling a little, then go around the beautiful and exotic Asia, and then yes, go back home, have a "normal life" But I am not ready to do that before see more!!! The world is beautiful and we deserve look over it. Well ,about me, I studied for becoming a Chef, but to be honest I am a little bit lazy to cook sometimes. But I promess I can do my best to share a good food with you!! I ´ve never made/used CS before, just for the meetings, so is going to be my first time. What I expect from this, Is meeting more locals to improve my level of english, and have a sane stay without misunderstandings.

Thanks, and hope to see you soon.

PHILOSOPHY

Most of people say "live every day like the last day" I think that would be crazy, can you imagine living every single moment like the last one? so I say "Learn from every single moment" and try to be happy as much as you can, no pressure.
