I met Melanie Cobb when she asked me to design her website about a year ago. We've swapped many travel stories and tips since then. Melanie's travels are motivated by personal growth and connection to nature, so I thought an interview with her would be a perfect way to end this series. Melanie now lives in Santa Cruz, California, and works as a Writer, Life Transformation Coach, and Professional Wild Woman. When she is not frolicking in the massive redwood forests or coastal cliffs near her home, she is working with her inspiring base of clients. She has grown a successful Life Coaching business, and especially loves working with adventurous, spiritually-minded, nature-loving clients to help them get un-stuck, rediscover their badassery, and master their lives. Under her care, her clients have quit dead-end jobs, clarified their visions, and manifested the lives of their dreams. And lucky you - she is offering FREE sessions to the first five Eye and Pen readers who write to her after reading this article! Read on.

A value-luxury adventure traveler at heart, Dr. Cacinda Maloney shares her experiences through her highly successful travel blog, PointsandTravel.com.  As someone who has traveled every six weeks of her life for the last 18 years, while owning her business, she travels the world and shares her tips on where to go, what to see and how to experience the most amazing places the world has to offer.  She gets the most from her travel dollars by using frequent flyer miles and loyalty program points to travel for less at luxury properties.  She calls this “value luxury”.  She is Phoenix, Arizona based, but maintains an apartment in Santiago, Chile.  She is also an established travel blogger and photographer.
