About Mel

Welcome, lovely to have you here!

I never even knew I had a book in me but it seems as though I did. I see myself more as a teller of stories, an observer of life than an author.

If you’re contemplating solo travel then my wish for you is that this book will inspire and encourage you to do it. If you’re already out there travelling and haven't yet been to Thailand I hope it might be included in your 'must visit' list.

Travelling with an open heart and an open mind makes all the difference.

Much love

These bags are all about WOMEN HELPING WOMEN because when they do, MAGIC HAPPENS!

While living in Phuket, I met Pui—our shared love of laughter, chats, and kindness made us instant friends. I'm now working with her to bring these bags to you, helping her earn extra income from the profits we make.

Our vibrant cheerful bags are all made in Thailand.
