145. Mel Bolin & Lina Dickinson: Founders of MERSEA Share Their Story And Purpose Behind One of Our Favorite Coastal Inspired Brands - a podcast by Emily Landers

Today's guests Melanie and Lina are the founders of MERSEA. MERSEA’s story began in 2013 with a singular passion in mind: Travel, and the nostalgic scents that come along with it. Fascinated by scent’s ability to transport the body and soul to places old and new, this led our founders to uncover the creations of artisans found in corners around the world. Now, MERSEA is no longer exclusively a destination for scents and self-care, but a curated collection of travel essentials crafted entirely for your journey—wherever you may go.

A California native, Lina spent her childhood summers in San Diego attending surf camp and soaking up the sun. After marrying her college sweetheart, she moved to Kansas City, got her MBA, and met Melanie at their children’s small school. She is a lover of the ocean and adventure, and when she’s not working or traveling for MERSEA, Lina enjoys playing cards with her four kids.

Born in Texas but destined for the West Coast, Melanie lived in Los Angeles for many years embracing the creativity, adventure, and ample opportunities in the brand marketing world. Melanie then moved to Kansas City alongside her husband and two children in 2004—subsequently meeting Lina. At MERSEA, Melanie manages all things creative.
