Love Melanie’s piece and so happy she’s now featured on LuvTrip! I’ve been following her articles for a few years and she’s definitely my go-to person when I’m planning trips to the Caribbean
Melanie is a complete professional with a knack for details and description that colors her writing and reporting and breathes new life into old topics. She searches out and discovers hidden gems everywhere that her travels take her. I look forward to her content and coverage and appreciate her zest for reporting.
I love reading Melanie’s articles and so it’s great to have learnt a bit more about her in this biography.
I find that she has a true way with words (love things like “the ocean is a seashell away” and “temperatures that feel like a delicious warm bath”) that envelop you into the world that she writes about.
I will comeback in the future looking for more from Melanie.
Thanks, Sharon
