about Melinda

Born in Miami, raised in California, and fluent in Chinese (thanks to two amazing years in Taiwan & thanks to my amazing parents) — you could say I'm a cultural chameleon!

Fashion was my first love (I graduated with a styling degree in San Francisco!), but with how fast and environmental impact fashion has affected our earth… it just didn't sit right with me.

After a few solo trips to different countries and some time to reflect, I’ve learned so much from both the world and myself.

And that, my friend, is how everlastying was born.

about everlastying

Everlastying, is about living a life that lasts. The 'ying' in the name (which means 'authentic' in Chinese) reflects my commitment to always staying authentic.

I believe in mindful and sustainable living and travel, embracing local experiences, and leaving an even more positive footprint on the planet for our future.

Here at everlastying, you'll find tips and tricks on how to travel light (literally and figuratively!), embrace minimalism, and experience the world.
