Get to Know Mel
Hi! I'm Melody — but you can call me Mel. I grew up in a tiny town in South Louisiana, ironically called “Big Mamou.” I had no idea what was in store for me once I moved away! There’s so much more to the world than the small town you grew up in.
Once I started exploring, I couldn’t stop. I fell in love with traveling, discovering new experiences, and developed an extreme love for cruising. My passion for adventure inspired me to become a travel planner so I can help others explore the globe and create unforgettable memories.
Then I discovered social media — and wow, that has allowed me to share my passion on a whole new level! It gave me a space to meet amazing people, share my travels, and showcase the things I love. Though, my Louisiana roots run deep, and I also love sharing Louisiana traditions and Cajun cooking.
When I’m not traveling, you’ll find me spending time with my family, treasure hunting at thrift stores, baking something delicious, or diving into my latest crafting project.
