2009 HOST, PAUL COX

Paul is a traveler and budding writer, with an offset background in mechanical engineering from Rutgers University. Melanie finds herself behind a camera of some sort most of the time, working with many professional photographers. She also graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in print journalism and visual arts.

Together, Melanie and Paul have recently documented their many adventures in South America, Delmarva, and in and around New York City. The pair has been traveling around Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay, eventually leading them to the DelMarVa coast. They seek unique aspects of frequent travel destinations as well as the hidden gems, and share their impressions and pass along travel tips for every type of traveler.
