About
Atlanta-based mom of two who absolutely loves cooking, food and wine. Often found in the kitchen or on a beach with a margarita in hand.
Travel style
Adventure is my middle name! I love luxury camping and hiking, but also enjoy cooking classes, wine tastings and museum visits. Whether I'm walking through a bustling market or relaxing on a turquoise beach, I always make time to meet locals and try their cuisine. While I have a soft spot for boutique hotels, I'm equally happy in a quaint farmhouse or other unique accommodations that offer a glimpse into a destination's culture.

Melanie's reviews
Melanie went above and beyond, from recommending this amazing new resort that we had never heard of, to helping us get our reservation, airport transfers, etc. booked and ready to go. She even surprised us with the cutest parting gift of goodies for our trip. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Melanie, we definitely will be for our next trip!

Melanie is always an incredible advisor. She makes it easy for me to travel and is always responsive and flexible to my needs. She looks into all the little things that my family cares about including kids club activities. Booking the hotel transfer with her was seamless and I knew what to expect because of all the research she did in advance and the vacation guide she sent to prep us for the trip!

Melanie had thought of everything. We knew just to expect, from embarking, to the different excursions she planned. Melanie had thought of everything. We talked through the entire trip, thinking about the needs of my party with ages ranging from 13 to 83. I recommend Melanie to any family for planning their travel needs.

Booked travel by cruise

Melanie was great to work with! She provided us with an itinerary which spoke to our preferences and included time for traveling from one location to another. Communication got a little confusing with confirmation for some activities being sent to our phones and others to our joint email, yet we didn't miss out on any activities and she helped clarify immediately. She was responsive to our questions and requests and we appreciated her touch, welcome gift, and upgrades when we made it to our hotels.
