Name: Melanie Montemurno
Occupation: HR Manager, Opening Ceremony
Travel destination: Iceland
Carry-on necessities: Magazines! I binge on trashy mags when I fly.
Reading materials: Attempting to get through Infinite Jest
Most over-played tracks on your iPhone this trip: I actually love talk radio. I'm currently listening to old Loveline podcasts circa 2000.
Favorite outfit to travel in: Anything comfortable that still looks decent! Big fan of fancy leisurewear. The hours on a plane or train don't feel so long when you're cruising in a Thierry Boutemy for Opening Ceremony Long-Sleeve Crewneck and Culottes.
Highlight of your trip: Horseback riding through volcanic rock fields and the daily geothermal spas!
Souvenirs you brought back: Blue Lagoon face products
