Hello! I created this travel blog to inspire others to travel the world and to experience new things. Like many people, I work full time and I am limited to the number of vacations I can take per year. However, that has never stopped me from exploring! The goal of Mel’s Scene is to show and encourage others in similar situations that it is possible to travel and enjoy life while still working full-time. Mel’s Scene showcases all my trips as well as detailed travel itineraries to help ease the time-consuming process of planning.

Travel Blogs: All of my travel blogs are designed to help you easily plan your vacation. When working full-time, the last thing you want to do is research and plan a trip! Each travel blog is a quick read with bullet points on where to stay, what to see, and where to eat and drink.

Done-For-You Downloadable PDF Itineraries: Love to travel, but don’t want to plan a trip? That is where I come in! All of my done-for-you PDF Itineraries are fully preplanned. Once downloaded, these mobile-friendly PDF itineraries can quickly be accessed on phones, so even when the internet isn’t available, everything can still go according to plan.

So take a look around, and discover your next scene!

About Mel

My name is Mel! I currently live in Arizona. I was born in Los Angeles, CA, and grew up on an island off of Seattle, WA.

Traveling & exploring has always been a passion of mine. I started this blog mainly for myself to remember each journey. My travel style is budget chic, but I always splurge where it counts. I enjoy staying in unique hotels and places.

Like many people, I am limited to one to two-week trips due to work and PTO. However, that has not stopped me! I hope to inspire you to travel the world and experience new things. Each country I travel to changes me in ways I didn’t even know were possible.
