Travel style
I plan trips that feel like a warm invitation to slow down and savor. My travel style is all about soulful, boutique experiences — think charming guesthouses, authentic eats and curated moments that help you feel connected, not just entertained. Whether you’re traveling solo or joining one of my small-group trips, I focus on safety, ease and experiences that make you say “this is exactly what I needed.”

Melissa's reviews
Booking my hotel in Hydra through Melissa was one of the best travel decisions I’ve made. She knew exactly where to stay on the island—seriously, the hotel she recommended was absolutely perfect. But what made the experience even better was her deep knowledge of Hydra. She didn’t just stop at the accommodation—she also suggested some incredible restaurants that I never would have found on my own. Every recommendation felt like a hidden gem. Melissa made the whole process stress-free, and I felt like I got a local’s insight from start to finish. Highly recommend her travel planning services!

Melissa was great to work with. She has great knowledge of Portugal and can save you money. The room was $40 cheaper than if I booked myself and she was able to get breakfast included.
