Name: Melissa
Age: 22
Occupation: Key Account Manager & part time executive wine taster
Lives: I’m currently homeless! Anyone need a flatmate?

Likes: The beach, cooking, dancing and laughing.

Dislikes: Mondays. Oh, and running out of gas because you misjudged the fuel gauge and were adamant that you still had at least 10km before that little empty light counted for anything!

Favourite place: My parents’ house. I always feel safe there and my old bedroom always welcomes me back!

Favourite food: Japanese. But I also have an addiction to Grand Angus burgers.

Favourite drink: Any kind of cocktail, but I am partial to a cold Corona.

Favourite car: Probably not what everyone wants to hear but I would love an Audi R8. I’ve also fantasized about owning 'Eleanor’, the ’67 Shelby GT 500  Mustang from Gone In 60 Seconds. That is one sexy car!

Favourite current album/song: Current song! 'Hold My Hand’, Sean Paul. Love it!

Biggest night out: I really cannot single this to just one. Those who know me can vouch for that! I am a bit of a party animal at the best of times.

Funniest moment: Herding sheep with an unnamed friend in Cornwall Park on the particularly eventful morning that followed my 22nd birthday celebrations.

Worst pick-up attempt: I am not a girl that can be 'picked up’, so to speak. I have had guys demand my phone number before which was kind of amusing to me, and once I literally had a guy pick me up and try to carry me down the road! That was a bit weird, actually!

What you look for in a man: Usually I would say a sense of humour; someone who can make me laugh. I might re-evaluate this now, as speaking from past experience there may be other more important things to take into consideration.
