Meet Melissa

Hi, I’m Melissa, your Travel Coach & Trip Designer

I believe travel isn’t just about “getting away”—it’s how kids grow, couples reconnect, and families build lifelong memories.

But I also know how overwhelming it can feel to make a trip actually happen.

(I’ve been there: two kids under two, two full-time jobs, and no idea how to pull off a vacation.)

Now, I coach parents, grandparents, and even time-poor professionals through the exact steps I use for my own family and clients.

Whether you want to plan it yourself with confidence or have me design and book it for you,

I’ll help you finally take the trips you dream about.
