hi, bestie!

welcome

I’m Mel *hand wave*

I grew up in the sunshine state and moved to the midwest with my lover boy. I'm obsessed with earthy tones, I love the outdoors, having an excuse to host my family and friends, and making friends with the neighborhood pups.

I express myself through Plane & Cheesy and everyone knows my phone eats first! Between road trips and plane rides, I try my best to connect with people from all walks of life. I love to inspire others to live a life full of food tastings and travel experiences. Do you need a taste tester buddy?!

went to mexico city & huatulco with some friends to enjoy día de los muertos (I’ve been DYING to visit mexico & celebrate with them). I learned a lot about their ofrendas, how they honor their loved ones, & travel with the flow 😂 I basically planned not to plan. It was GREAT

Tyler & I chose Gaby to connect with @soymexicanisima (her photography account is @capturingmemoriescdmx) & she was the sweetest! we’re so grateful to her for making our mexico city maternity pics a dream!
