Introducing Miss Adventures...
Hi! I'm Melanie Renzulli, and I've been blogging as "Miss Adventures" since 2004.

You can find me writing about Italy on my blog Italofile.com, about USA travel on About.com, and about general travel news and deals on Gadling. If you need to get in touch, look for me on Twitter. I'm almost always around.
