Melissa

This is Melissa! The adventure-seeking vegan travel blogger behind foot steps on the globe. Her passion for travel started at a young age after a childhood spent moving around the Middle East from Saudi Arabia, Oman, and then the UAE. After returning to the UK to attend university, she graduated in 2010 with a business degree and began a career in marketing. In 2015, she decided to channel her creativity and love of travel into her very own passion project and so Footsteps on the Globe was born. Fast forward six years and 28 countries later, she now lives in Manchester in the UK working in the charity sector, specializing in marketing strategy, digital advertising, content creation, and social media alongside running Footsteps on the Globe. She loves nothing more than immersing herself in different cultures and exploring new places, finding adventure and the best local vegan food in every destination she travels to.
