From the day she graduated high school and headed to LaLa Land to study acting, Melissa has been in search of her next travel adventure. Taking jobs (sometimes odd ones) in Vancouver, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and Italy just so she could experience living in a different place, Melissa’s got countless wacky stories to tell. Lucky for her, Sympatico.ca saw the combination of her travel experience and journalism degree as a perfect reason to hire her for her dream job of Travel Editor. Three years and about 30 trips later, Melissa has handed over the reins to take a stab at publishing. But, getting people excited about travel by sharing experiences remains her top priority.
