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.
