Profile details
About
Atlanta-based mom of two who absolutely loves cooking, food and wine. Often found in the kitchen or on a beach with a margarita in hand.
Travel style
Adventure is my middle name! I love luxury camping and hiking, but also enjoy cooking classes, wine tastings and museum visits. Whether I'm walking through a bustling market or relaxing on a turquoise beach, I always make time to meet locals and try their cuisine. While I have a soft spot for boutique hotels, I'm equally happy in a quaint farmhouse or other unique accommodations that offer a glimpse into a destination's culture.

Melanie's reviews
Melanie was great to work with! She provided us with an itinerary which spoke to our preferences and included time for traveling from one location to another. Communication got a little confusing with confirmation for some activities being sent to our phones and others to our joint email, yet we didn't miss out on any activities and she helped clarify immediately. She was responsive to our questions and requests and we appreciated her touch, welcome gift, and upgrades when we made it to our hotels.
