HI I’M MELISSA!

Growing up in a Bangladeshi-American household and moving around the US multiple times as a child, I’m no stranger to traveling and meeting new people. My first international trip (to the motherland) was when I was a year old - some might say I’m now addicted to the sound of a fresh, new passport stamp!

My passion for travel comes from my genuine curiosity and appreciation for the people and cultures around me. Now in my creative nomad era, I live a soft life traveling to different countries with my laptop, a film camera, and a thirst to explore everything around me. I started Club Airplane Mode to showcase all that I do, see, eat, and enjoy on these trips. I hope to inspire others to visit more places off the beaten path and live like a local when doing so. Thank you for visiting!
