Travel style

Obsessed with Italy after studying abroad in Florence during college. I love to see how the locals live and always swear by the locals recommendations, especially when it comes to where to eat or get the best coffee! I enjoy exploring new cities on foot or by bike but also enjoy relaxing on a great beach. Currently dreaming of a trip to Sardinia!

Melissa made the booking for our trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls so simple! She listened to what we were looking for and quickly provided us with excellent options. The hotels and car options she provided and booked had fun perks and made the experience better than we could have booked on our own.
