Let’s work together.

I’m Stephanie — founder, editor, and chief opinion-haver at Meravella. If you love your corner of the travel world as much as I love writing about it, let’s make something great. 🌴

My whole thing is honest travel decisions — honesty is the product. Which is exactly why, when I recommend you, people believe it (and book).

🏨 Hotels & resorts

My favorite collab: I already love your property (or I’m this close), and I come stay so I can write it up firsthand — walk the halls, sleep in the room, notice the little things that make it special.

What you get:

• ✦A real, credited review your future guests actually trust.
• ✦Gorgeous firsthand photos — I often bring a photographer, and you’re welcome to use them too.
• ✦Coverage that gets shared, because it reads as real.

The one ground rule: I disclose the stay, and the final call stays mine. Everything else is easy — and honestly, the fun part.

🌍 Tourism boards & destinations

Want honest, decision-first coverage of your destination — the kind travelers actually use to choose where to go and what to skip? That’s literally my whole thing. Let’s talk.

📰 Press & media

Writing about travel, AI travel advice, or a solo founder building a guide from scratch? Genuinely one of my favorite conversations — here’s my press page.
