My Story
Living out of a suitcase is fine by me. I travel as much as I can whether with couples, girlfriends, family or solo. There is so much of the world to see and taste!
My Travel Style
I like a good mix of city and small towns. I rest my head in lavish hotels and small family-owned inns. I have strolled around old towns, relaxed on the most beautiful beaches, walked across Spain on the Camino, and trekked to base camp on Mount Everest. I've visited the popular tourist places, and the off-the-beaten track, unique destinations. Immersion in the culture is important to me. The constant is the food, which is as important as the destination. I've been to almost 100 countries, and there are still so many places that I hope to visit and food to try and bottles to open.

I am overwhelmingly grateful for Melissa’s wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm that she devoted to our trip! She listened to our every request and demonstrated a genuine desire to put together an inclusive itinerary for the whole family. The attention to detail, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to craft a custom, personalized vacation experience cannot be overstated. I look forward to working with her again in the near future!

Melissa was incredible! Her attention to detail and organization were perfect! She took care of all our booking details and perfectly tailored the trip to our preferences. The way she laid out our trip and presented us with all the details was ideal. Her little notes and details on how to navigate Italy were very helpful as well. Florence was our favorite part of the trip, and we very much enjoyed the wine tour in the Tuscan countryside. The hotel in Rome was our favorite thanks to the balcony view, the luxurious bedroom and bathroom and the prime location. We highly recommend Melissa!!

Melissa helped us so much. She gave us so many recommendations on where to visit in each city we traveled to. She booked our hotels in the best locations in each city so that we could walk everywhere and see all the amazing sites in Prauge , Bratislava , Vienna and Budapest. I know I couldn’t have planned our anniversary trip with out her help . Melissa is amazing and we would highly recommend her for your next travel adventure. I know Dan and I will for sure . Thank- you so much Melissa

Everything Melissa booked was great. She gave advice on navigating the trains and transportation. She gave restaurant recommendations that we tried and were all great. We were able to do things in Europe that I wouldn’t have even known about until we were there. I would never have been able to plan our trip without her. She was wonderful.

Beachside Paradise: 9 Days in Seychelles
The beaches are beautiful and the water amazingly clear. The granite rock formations that are found on the beaches are unique to Seychelles and make for an iconic landscape. With white sand and turquoise water, there is no better place to relax and enjoy life.
