About Me

My name is Melanie Niarhos, I am a foodie, travel lover, and theme park enthusiast. I grew up near Orlando, Florida and was practically raised in theme parks. My first birthday was spent at Disney World and three of my college years were spent working at Universal Orlando Resort. After college, I taught English for a year in Korea, and now I plan to continue my travels and share them here. I hope to share all of my experiences, good and bad, so that you can have the best adventures possible!

About Aventurine

Aventurine is a type of quartzite crystal. Green aventurine is thought to be one of the luckiest crystals. It is known for manifesting prosperity and protecting your heart chakra. Keeping green aventurine on you will help provide positive energy and good luck in your travels. This crystal is a great basis for the fun, positivity, and prosperity that I hope to channel to others with this blog. 

​

My goal is to open people up to new adventures through travel guides, honest experiences, and funny stories. I want you to see that the world is much smaller than you think and that you can get out there, whether it is by yourself or with friends and family. There are so many amazing places to explore, foods to eat, and adventures to be had.
