About

An Amsterdam-based polyglot with a passion for travel, art history and special gastronomic experiences, I love crafting unique itineraries for those who appreciate boutique stays, immersive local culture, exceptional cuisine and journeys that feels as personal as they are unforgettable. Either on the road or wanderlusting.


Travel style

7 countries lived, 18 years in Europe, 5 languages spoken fluently and an endless passion for travel. After a rewarding corporate career and a couple of entrepreneurial ventures, I now savor the opportunity to bring my love for travel curation to life, creating meaningful memories alongside my day job in Venture Capital.

My approach to curating journeys is rooted in a love for boutique, authentic experiences that blend comfort with discovery. This passion comes not only from my own travels but from a deep motivation to build lasting memories and help others do the same.

I design trips for those who wish to uncover both iconic highlights and hidden gems, far from the typical tourist paths. My itineraries are thoughtfully designed for those who appreciate comfort and culture, with a focus on exceptional food, boutique stays and experiences that feel as personal as they are unforgettable.

If you’re seeking a tasteful, curated escape, let’s create something unforgettable together.

Melissa's reviews

Melissa is simply the pinnacle of luxury travel planning. From start to finish, our trip to Asia was flawlessly curated with exceptional attention to detail and an elevated sense of elegance. She took the time to truly understand what luxury means to us — crafting a journey tailored to our personal tastes and lifestyle.

One of the highlights was our stay at the Four Seasons in Langkawi, one of the incredible resorts she recommended, and it was absolutely perfect.

Every element of the entire trip was handled seamlessly: from securing the best rooms throughout the itinerary to arranging baby cots and providing thoughtful recommendations for restaurants and excursions that matched our preferences.

The planning process was just as impressive. Her intake was thoughtful and thorough, and once she understood our style, she took control — in the best possible way. She handled all communications with hotels and vendors, making everything effortless.

We were so impressed by the level of service and sophistication that we’ve already booked our next journey with her — this time a special, once-in-a-lifetime trip with our extended family. Melissa doesn’t just plan trips — she creates tailored, effortless luxury experiences.

Melissa is a great travel advisor! She gives such great tips.

Melissa is truly an exceptional travel advisor! Melissa consistently offered thoughtful suggestions to help us save money and make our trip more convenient, including great tips on booking our flights. She handled all the hotel communications for us, from arranging a baby cot to organizing our transfers, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She even goes the extra mile to secure additional perks whenever possible. I could have 2 free massages at the Anantara! We absolutely loved working with Melissa and can’t recommend her enough—thanks to her, we saved money and discovered some truly beautiful destinations!

Melissa is the best travel advisor you can get! When we decided to stop over in Kuala Lumpur to break up our flights, she came up with the Ibis option very quickly. She has plenty of travel experience herself which is very helpful. She is proactive and fast, comes with great suggestions to save money or have a more convenient trip (for instance had great suggestions for our plane tickets). She made sure Ibis had a baby cot ready for us. We loved loved loved working with Melissa and would encourage everyone to work with her as well - it saved us money and we visited beautiful destinations because of her!
