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