Introduction

Hi All! My name is Melissa and I have been lucky enough to be introduced to this amazing community! While I began my travel planning career focused on honeymoons, many of my couples have returned as their families grow—turning to me again for unforgettable family vacations.

Specialization

A bit about me—I've had the pleasure of traveling to Europe over ten times, including five visits to Greece and four to Italy. I've sailed a small motor yacht along the stunning Croatian coast and explored destinations like Portugal, London, Paris, the South of France, Amsterdam, and Spain.

For my honeymoon, I experienced the beauty of Maui and Kauai—and loved it so much, I've returned three times! I've also traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean, visiting places like Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Barths, Mexico, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Anguilla, St. Martin, Aruba, Grenada, Barbados, and the Dominican Republic.

One of my most unforgettable experiences was diving right off the deck of an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora. Most recently, I spent two incredible weeks exploring Thailand.

Even more rewarding than my own travel is helping others create lasting memories—many of my honeymoon clients have become cherished repeat travelers, returning to plan unforgettable family vacations.

Melissa was actually my travel agent from my honeymoon but has now successfully helped me plan our first ‘out of country’ family trip! We will be staying at the beautiful Beaches resort in Negril, Jamaica!
She made the whole process so easy for me, pricing out three different resorts each with three different length stays and offered her own personal experiences from the resorts as well as feedback from her clients.
If you’re looking for someone to handle all the leg work for a family trip (we know this process is very exhausting) I highly reccomend Melissa!
