About Merel

Hi!

I’m Merel Revet, the face behind Merels journey.

I chose the name Merels journey because I love to travel and share my (travel) adventures on my blog. I would love to take you on a journey and share my experiences and travel tips. 

For as long as I can remember I have loved writing and I love to travel. Since the age of 7 I have been keeping a journal and writing stories regularly. My first book was published when I was thirteen and secretly, I am daydreaming about writing another book. 

After high school, I did a high school year in America, worked one summer at a campground in France and was a part-time Parisienne for five and a half years. (I had a French boyfriend and all together I have lived in Paris for about a year and a half. Besides that I spend many weekends or weeks in the French capital). That explains the amount of Paris blogs 😉 . 
In 2024, I quit my job as a content marketer in the camping industry to travel through southeast Asia for three months. A fantastic experience and I can now say with certainty, traveling is one of my favorite things to do. 

To share my travel experiences and tips with others, I started my (travel) blog. And because I super enjoy creating content. I studied journalism and got my degree in 2020. Since then, I have been working as a content marketer and working as a freelance copywriter for various clients. (If you’re looking for a freelance copywriter, be sure to contact me).
