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.

Santorini is iconic for a reason: these whitewashed buildings, blue domes, and caldera views leave you speechless.

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.
I’m Kate, Your Travel Advisor, Hotel Lover, Mom of Two & Firm Believer in Taking the Trip
