About Me — Melissa Morris
A nurse, a writer and an adventure seeker
Hello Medium!
It’s about time that I introduce myself properly. You would think that it would be pretty easy to write; however, I have sat at my computer for over 30 minutes, and this is possibly my 3rd attempt at an introduction.
So without further delay…
I’m Melissa, and I live in Australia. I have lived in several countries and love to travel. My love of reading and creating epic storylines has fed my sense of adventure. However, it has meant that I don’t always stay in the same place, making finding a community difficult.
Professionally, I have a background in nursing, and I’ve also been involved in Christian ministry for the last 5+ years. This experience has enabled me to travel the world and live in places where very few tourists have travelled.
I speak intermediate French ( sort of) and the bare basics of Arabic. I think my love for the English language allows me to be fascinated with other languages and how words convey different meanings. Now that I am not working full-time nursing, I have found that my creativity is coming back, and there is freedom and excitement in knowing that I could take it anywhere.
