Travel style

What I love most about traveling is ensuring I fit into the culture and location I am visiting. I like to base my travel around food (and wine), so I typically want to do a walking tour on my first or second day to learn all the local spots to visit. If I travel to a foreign country, I would like to know some native languages to share some pleasantries without assuming everyone speaks English. I research the location and find the off-the-beaten-path places to visit and the best time to visit any of the historical or more touristy locations. While I like to indulge mostly in food, I love a balance of budget-savvy tactics and combining points.

Melissa's reviews

I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredible Melissa was and helping us find the perfect hotel for our stay before our cruise in San Juan. She truly went above and beyond listening to our needs and preferences, and found us a spot that not only was convenient, but also incredibly comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The hotel was in a great location close to everything we wanted to be around and she made sure to recommend some local attractions. Thanks to Melissa. Our stay was smooth and stress-free. She definitely made our trip even better.

Melissa made it very easy and she helped me coordinate my last-minute trip to an out-of-state office I needed to travel to. All I had to do was give her the dates I needed to be there and the address of the office and she took care of the rest. She booked my flight, car rental, and hotel and all of it was convenient and well coordinated. Melissa communicated well with me and answered the few questions I had very quickly. I definitely will use her to coordinate all of my future office travel as it was easy and a huge time-saver for me.

Melissa was very helpful in suggesting places to stay. Communication was very timely and she was able to get our room upgraded to a 1-bedroom suite, which was not expected! We would definitely utilize her again in the future - it’s so nice to have a trip booked and not have to think or worry about anything and knowing Melissa will handle anything we need!

Melissa is super easy to work with. She communicates in a timely manner, is friendly, helpful and has great ideas. She has awesome recommendations to make the most out of your trip! Will definitely book with her again!
