Wherever I May Roam

Hey y’all, I’m Melody—creator of Wherever I May Roam since 2015. I travel the U.S. (and beyond!) sharing the best small towns, can’t-miss attractions, where to stay, and—most importantly—what to eat.

You’ll find plenty of road trips, cruises, casino travel, and multi-generational adventures here, plus real travel tips to help you plan smarter and travel better.

Originally from West Virginia (and proud of it!), I’m the author of 100 Things to Do in West Virginia Before You Die and a regular contributor to USA Today’s 10Best. I just relocated from Mesquite, NV (outside Las Vegas) to Jacksonville, FL this year. 

I also co-host the Southern Travelers Explore (STE) conference with my daughters—bringing together creators and tourism pros each year (next stop: Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2027!).

If you love discovering hidden gems, historic sites, great food, and fun destinations—you’re in the right place. 💛
