Showcasing remarkable experiences and her favourite finds has always been a passion for Melissa, so it is no surprise that showing off the best of Kelowna comes naturally. During their time in Kelowna, Melissa and her husband lived the foodie lifestyle, took advantage of the lakeside parks and beaches, and sought out arts and culture experiences, including theatre productions, festivals, and concerts.
