Everywhere you turn in Switzerland, the scenery is jaw-dropping. Throughout our trip, we couldn’t help but remark to one another, “this doesn’t even look real.” There is something for everyone here: you may spend your days doing activities, workshops, day trips, or simply strolling the streets and enjoying some of our favorite spa hotels.  One […]

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 […]

We’ve all heard the “he won’t remember this” or “you’re bringing the kids?!” comments. I get it but I respectfully and hardcore disagree. We have a young family and this season is brutal sometimes so when we getaway, I want them part of the highlights. Maybe our dinners are cut short and I’m packing 3 […]

One of the most scenic islands in the Caribbean, with two towering volcanic peaks known as the pitons. A more adventurous destination with lots of reef-diving sites, hikes leading to waterfalls, and Sulfur Springs. Currently, it’s considered the number one honeymoon destination in the Caribbean and It’s not hard to see why. It’s the ideal romantic […]

Italy is one country with multiple countries inside. Piemonte is certainly a hidden gem with legendary red wines, cafe culture, medieval towns, and mountain ranges. Melted&Moved offers itineraries for the Piemonte region for clients who are typically repeat visitors to Italy or prefer a less touristic experience. Journey in Piemonte, walking through beautiful Torino.   […]

Remember when Cabo was strictly for college Spring Break, well this is not your daughters spring break locale. Things have changed. This Latin American destination has the highest concentration of luxury travel brands in Mexico.  Los Cabos includes two towns, Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.  If you can’t decide between a mountain, […]

One thing I look for in a Boutique hotel stay is immersion. With eco bamboo structures and open-air rooms, you get deep immersion with every detail.  Bambu Indah translates to “beautiful bamboo.” This hotel truly lives up to its namesake by celebrating nature and letting the landscape and architecture show off. Where: A 15 minutes […]

Going from a culture where the dress code was centered around complete modesty where a minimal amount of skin was allowed to show, to a dress code of bare naked takes a minute to adjust. Okay, maybe an hour. In Germany, I had the chance to embrace a spa day in a “textile-free environment.”  Entering […]

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.
