When Aaron and I started talking about our next couples getaway, Anguilla was immediately at the top of my list. It’s easy to look at a map of the Caribbean and assume the islands start to blend together: turquoise water, palm trees, a very reliable beach-bar playlist. But the more I travel, the more I […]

Marrakesh is Morocco at full volume — tiled courtyards, orange-scented gardens, rooftop cocktails at golden hour, and souks that seem to stretch on forever. You don’t need weeks here, but you do need a plan. Here’s how I spent a few days soaking it in — where we stayed, what we saw, and the nights out that […]

Mint tea, mosaic floors, and a gentle nudge toward the kind of luxury that feels lived-in, not locked away. I went to Morocco to scout the kind of trip I’d send my favorite people on—the one where you get camel rides at golden hour. Riad, palace, and desert stays that feel like a dream. Mint […]

Santorini is iconic for a reason: these whitewashed buildings, blue domes, and caldera views leave you speechless. A moment where time seems to stop…we talk a lot about creating “wow” moments in our client itineraries and how that translates into each trip. The scenery, however, does not require any dramatization. Santorini is the perfect destination […]

As a travel advisor, I’m constantly thinking about and planning travel so when it comes to my personal family trips you can bet I’ve considered all the options. So, why Florence? We arrived in late March, and each morning we stepped out of our city center apartment to relatively empty streets and cool air, followed […]

Crete isn’t just another island getaway; it’s like a mini-country offering a kaleidoscope of experiences. Crave history? Explore the Minoan Palace of Knossos, a glimpse into a lost civilization. After relaxation? Luxuriate on pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters. Foodie focused? Crete elevates Greek cuisine to an art form. Savor fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared in traditional styles. Imagine private infinity pools […]

After spending a few weeks in Florence, I packed our bags and picked up our rental car and we headed for the rolling hills. Our first stop: Volterra. Volterra, Italy Volterra, somewhat off-the-beaten-path is known for its Etruscan origins and Roman ruins. Inhabited since the Iron Age, the town dates back over 3000 years and […]

My clients’ first question is, “What’s outside of the US, in Europe but not too far by plane?” My response: Portugal! Portugal is continental Europe’s westernmost point, and its Iberian half is bounded to the west and south by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the north and east by Spain, the only country possessing a […]

More About Us
I’ll be the one on your side, reminding you that the trip you keep thinking about is worth taking—and bringing it to life.
I started Melted & Moved from a genuine love of travel and a belief that few things in life grow us, or connect us quite like seeing the world. I still get giddy over a beautiful hotel lobby, steps leading down to the ocean get me every time, and there’s nothing quite like a nightcap after a day you wish didn’t have to end.
