Domestic Travel
Every summer since I was a baby, we packed up the car and headed to the Outer Banks, North Carolina. You know the drill—coolers, portable dvd players, that one bag of snacks someone always sat on. Some years we rented a big house on the beach and crammed in the cousins, aunts, uncles, and enough […]
Maui is known to be the most luxurious of the Hawaiian Islands, with incredible resort areas and great road trips!! It’s also the 2nd largest island with the most swimmable beaches. Add in waterfalls, volcanoes, and fresh island food – Sign me up!! Fun fact: In Hawaiian mythology, it was demigod Māui who lifted the […]
Every year, the East Coast is hit with winter weather, causing all of the snowbirds to flee south. And Florida is at the top of the list this year, with an endless stretch of beach, great shopping, nightlife, and diverse cuisine. What more could you want state-side. If you’re a bird, I’m a bird. Miami […]
WHY YOU SHOULD DRIVE FROM MIAMI TO KEY WEST If you’ve never visited Key West. I strongly recommend driving rather than flying in because the views make it an incredible road trip and there is so much to do along the way that driving through the Keys should be part of the itinerary. It’s about […]
Consistently named America’s favorite city, Charleston is full of southern charm. The Palmetto-fringed streets are full of culture, food, shopping, and antebellum homes that led Conde Nast to name it among the best cities in the world. You could spend a weekend or week exploring this walkable city. Each time I visit, my experience is […]
In southern Maine, you’ll find this charming coastal town that is widely known for being the summer home of the Bush family and driving past the Bush compound has become a tourist “to do.” Kennebunkport is a year-round destination thanks to fabulous Christmas markets, fall markets and events, and summer beaches. I’ve heard it said […]
Montage Deer Valley, our last visit in Deer Valley, but certainly not the least. At the very top of the mountain, the drive was absolutely gorgeous. The Montage offers a grand entrance and refined mountain lodge culture. A hallmark of the resort is the highly personalized service, which makes you feel at home from the […]
What are the Salt Flats The Salt Flats are remnants of a lake that’s now 90% table salt and can be 5 ft. deep near the center. On a clear day, it’s so flat that you can see the earth’s curvature. At one point in time, Lake Bonneville covered 1/3 of Utah. The flats are […]
We arrived in Salt Lake City. One of the draws to visiting Park City for a ski-in/ski-out experience is how close it is. Only a 40 minute drive and you are in the heart of a winter wonderland so if travel time is a concern, this is the trip for you. Since we went to […]
Covered in pink-white sand, rolling hills covered in green leaves, and fairy tale towns. Saint-Barts is the best kept secret of the French West Indies. Maybe its because I’m craving a European adventure (because I always am) that the red roofs remind me of the the iconic blue tops in Santorini. But while we await […]

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
