About

Exploring the world one adventure at a time, capturing moments, and sharing insights to inspire your journey.

Hey there! I’m Mel, the voice behind Miles Away.

Born in Puerto Rico with a deep love for travel rooted in my grandmother’s role as a travel guide, I’ve always been drawn to exploring new places and cultures.

My journey started with biking around my local neighborhood in Providence, Rhode Island fueling a curiosity about the world around me. It wasn’t long before I was taking the bus to bigger cities like New York and Boston from my home in Cranston.

As I’ve continued to grow, so has my love for learning more and exploring the world. Over the years, I’ve lived in various cities—Boston, Fort Myers, Denver, and now Las Vegas—each place adding a new layer to my experience. With a passion for photography that started in high school, I’ve spent much of my life capturing moments and finding beauty in the details of everyday life.

Now, I work remotely and use the freedom to explore even further, seeking out destinations that challenge me, inspire me, and deepen my understanding of the world.

Through this blog, I hope to share my adventures with you, offering insights, recommendations, and a glimpse into how travel can bring us closer to the world around us. From sharing photography, travel tips to destination guides, my goal is to inspire you to embrace your own journey and see the world in a new light.

I’m all about finding that perfect balance between adventure and well-being, and I hope you’ll join me as I explore new places, try exciting activities, and capture it all along the way.

Welcome to Miles Away. Let’s explore the world together.
