Hi, I’m Melody, a travel writer and blogger who loves to write about Europe and romantic travel.

I’ve loved travel since I took my first flight—to France at the age of sixteen, where I spent my time exploring the moonlit streets of Paris and the romantic castles of the Loire Valley.

Since then, I’ve earned a BS degree in Travel/Tourism Management and have spent more than thirty years traveling to the world’s most idyllic destinations while working in the travel industry at such companies as Club Med, Walt Disney World, and South Seas Plantation, among others.

I hope reading my blog inspires you to explore the world!
