About Mélissa

I've been writing since I was 7, and that passion only grew stronger when I started to travel by myself. It all began with my blog, Mel Loves Travels, in 2010. One of my main goals is to encourage women of all ages to travel alone, and I put this into practice when I embarked on a round-the-world trip at the age of 40.

From 2017 to 2019, I worked as a travel columnist for Belgian public radio, "La Première," which reignited my interest in radio broadcasting, something I had originally developed during my journalism school years. 

I've also authored several guidebooks about my hometown of Brussels and know quite a bit about microbreweries.
