I am here for Friends

About Me


I am a daughter, sister, friend, teacher, girlfriend...soon to be wife, and one day a mother. I am a Canadian living in Korea and soon The U.S. to be with my man. I can be happy, sad, irrational, hyper, and often I have a short attention span....but mostly, I am just ME.

Melissa is a radioactive squirrel!!
I have been living and teaching in Korea for over 7 years now. I love Korea and love the culture, but there is something to be said for living completely alone in a foreign country where the only other English speakers are those wanderers like myself and the American military. I guess you learn pretty quickly not to be afraid of the loneliness, but in fact to appreciate your alone time and the self reflection and growth that can come from it. It is also easy to fill up your time with fun/crazy stuff to do! This chapter of my life has definately been one roller coaster ride after another, and I have loved every minute of it!!! Although, I would never have lasted so long in this country if it weren't for my friends here. They stood by when they could- when I needed their strength and companionship, and of course when there was fun to be had! They are the world to me. And now I have to say goodbye to most, because finally after so long here they are slowly trickling away home. I will miss them more than anything.
I love to meet new interesting people, to travel, and to try new things. That is probably why I have hung around so long. It is easy to have new adventures when you are already on this side of the world. The only drawback is the difficulty of finding those new people and close friends to share it with. I was lucky enough to find the greatest person to share everything with for the last part of my time here, but recently he had to go home. My current contract is nearly over and I will soon be able follow him and be together again. I am finally ready to share my life with someone else and have been the luckiest to find another with similar dreams and goals. I can't wait for all this long distance to be over, but I guess these are the kind of bumps in the road when you choose this kind of life and lifestyle. It was the road I chose to follow a long time ago and despite the loss and hardships that came with it, I would never go back to have it any other way. I am truly blessed in this life to have experienced all that I have, for all the people that have come into my life and made it that much brighter, and to finally have the most amazing man to go home to and start our next adventure...together!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


The guy who calls me beautiful instead of hot
The guy who calls me back when I hang up on him
The guy who will stay awake just to watch me sleep
The guy who kisses my forehead when I am distressed
The guy who wants to show me off to the world when I am in sweats
The guy who holds my hands in front of his friends
The guy who continues to remind me of how much he cares about me and how lucky he is to have me...even if we are fighting
The guy who, when I come home upset, hugs me and says whose ass am I kicking
The guy who accepts me for me, and loves me even more for the annoying little quirks I may have
The guy who turns to his friends and says....that's her

It took a very long time, but I have finally found him, and I don't ever mean to let him go!
