About

Welcome to Modern Stargazer! I’m Melissa—a curious traveler, part-time glamper, e-bike enthusiast, and lifelong journaler who’s embracing the in-between chapter of midlife with a full heart and an open map. After decades in the corporate world and with one kid freshly graduated from college and another finishing up soon, my husband Chris and I decided it was time to explore new roads—literally. We started with e-bikes and weekend rides, and now we’re taking short trips in our Airstream, Stargazer, soaking up the joy of slow travel and the beauty of state parks . This blog is my cozy corner of the internet where I share stories from the road, reflections on what’s next, campsite finds, gear I love, and all the little things that make life feel spacious again. I’m so glad you’re here.
