Melanie Best

I am a 22 year old graduate studying International Business Management at Northumbria University in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. My home town, actually a village, is Garrigill in Cumbria (couldn't be on higher ground here). As a child I was dedicated to my hobby/practically part-time job of Irish Dancing. This made me a very competitive and determined individual. During university I completed a placement year studying in both Hong Kong and Daegu, South Korea. Within this year I also managed to visit many other countries in Asia. This is when I developed my "travel bug" I am obsessed with visiting new countries and experiencing new cultures. I love doing this but of course I miss my very close family and best friends! Last but certainly not least, my boyfriend Elan shares my passion for travel and determination to succeed. That is one of many reasons why I love him!
