Melanie May Portfolio of Work

Welcome to my world, where flavours dance, wines sing, and my camera captures moments that’ll make your wanderlust soar! As a professional traveller, wordsmith, wine enthusiast, and content creator, I’m here to take you on a memorable journey.

On these pages, you’ll find a curated selection of my work: stories that transport you to culinary havens, picturesque vineyards, and destinations around the globe. With each article, video, and photo, I aim to inspire, inform, and ignite your wanderlust.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with global brands, creating content that resonates with audiences worldwide. From crafting immersive travel guides to producing dynamic videos and social media campaigns, I am committed to delivering quality content that brings brands to life and keeps readers coming back.

Awards and professional memberships

I was over the moon and completely shocked to receive the Best Newcomer Award at the 2018 Travel Extra Travel Journalist of the Year Awards. This recognition celebrates excellence in travel writing and is a testament to my dedication to storytelling and skill in transporting readers to remarkable places through engaging narratives. Again, I was completely floored when I won the Adventure and Ski category at the 2024 Travel Extra Travel Journalist of the Year Awards.

I’m a member of the Irish Food Writers’ Guild and the British Guild of Travel Writers and connected with a distinguished community dedicated to promoting excellence in food, wine, and travel writing.

Join the journey

If you’re a reader, brand, or publication interested in collaboration, please get in touch with me. I look forward to creating stories that inspire adventure and celebrate the joy of travel, food, and wine.
