“Travel makes one modest, you see what tiny place you occupy in the world.” Gustave Flaubert
A Journey Begins Long Before Departure…
I discovered the magic of travel at nine—the thrill of new flavors, sounds, and stories. That early curiosity led me to my first role after college at Rosenbluth Travel, where I learned the art of crafting journeys for others.
Life Taught Me That TIME is the Ultimate Luxury…
For over a decade, I navigated the fast-paced world of global IT project management, overseeing initiatives across corporate, financial, and government sectors. Managing teams, budgets, and high-stakes timelines was rewarding, yet it came at a personal cost—little time for joy, connection, or meaningful experiences.
It was this understanding that brought me back to my true calling: designing travel that honors time, curiosity, and the pursuit of moments that matter.
And So, Travel With Melissa Was Born…
In 2008, I founded Travel With Melissa to craft journeys for discerning travelers who demand more than the ordinary. Every itinerary reflects meticulous planning, trusted partnerships, and experiences that are impossible to book online. From privately chartered yachts gliding through the Greek Isles to alpine hideaways accessible only by helicopter, each journey is a seamless expression of time well spent.

Travel, Thoughtfully Designed
I don’t sell vacations. I design bespoke luxury travel experiences for executives, entrepreneurs, and families who value discretion, access, and time well spent.
Working with me is akin to partnering with a trusted advisor. I take the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and priorities, then translate that insight into seamless, insider-level journeys—so you can travel confidently, without distraction or effort.
Every detail is handled. Every experience is intentional. You remain fully present.
What Sets the Experience Apart
Insider Access- Global relationships provide entry to experiences unavailable through traditional channels.
White-Glove Execution - End-to-end management with precision, discretion, and proactive care—nothing for you to manage.
Trusted Discretion - Privacy, consistency, and judgment you can rely on, trip after trip.
Purposeful Design - Journeys shaped around milestones, connection, and meaningful moments.
Time, Well Spent
With Travel With Melissa, you’re not booking a trip—you’re delegating it to an expert. The result is travel that is effortless, elevated, and memorable—for you and for those you bring with you.

Global Connections
Where you stay is only the beginning. How you are received defines everything.
At Travel With Melissa, access is never transactional — it is personal. Through longstanding relationships with the world’s most distinguished hotels, resorts, and private retreats, my clients are recognized and privileged in ways that extend well beyond the ordinary.
Drawing on this network and my firsthand expertise, I design journeys that offer rare access, VIP treatment, and meaningful experiences — all with exceptional value and the protection of your investment. These are not “perks,” but quiet markers of status, recognition, and belonging.
Because true luxury doesn’t need to be requested. It’s already waiting for you.
