Melanie took all the stress, time and hassle out of planning a very special trip for me and my family of four to Italy.

I was hesitant about using vacation rentals and didn’t want to spend the time planning train schedules among our four destinations during the 17 days.


Giving Melanie my priorities and preferences, she made it simple for me to choose options, explained and babysat me through the whole process with reminders and updates as they occurred.


Melanie’s knowledge, organizational and research skills around travel are outstanding and I’d recommend her to anyone.

You only get so many vacations per year. You want to enjoy every one of them. Having personally experienced a trip designed by Melanie I can say without hesitation that she designs fantastic trips.

Have you ever wanted to go to Wyoming (other than to visit Yellowstone National Park)? I didn’t.Until I went on my latest trip designed by Melanie. 


There was so much great food, friendly people, stunning views of and from the mountains, not to mention all the wildlife enjoyed along the way. If you think Wyoming is just Yellowstone – think again.


Let Melanie design a trip there, or anywhere else, for you. I believe you won’t be – can’t be – disappointed!

FAQS

My goal is to find you the best deals that are what you are looking for in your vacation. A customized itinerary that is created and based on your interests, styles and wants. I share my experience and knowledge with you. I want you to be happy with having a personal input into planning your trip.

First you fill out the client travel questionnaire. Then we have a consultation either over the phone or via video conferencing. My goal is to get to know you, what your style is, what you want out of your trip and any other things you want me to know, to plan your perfect trip.

Once we agree on the requirements, then you will sign an agreement and pay the planning fee. I will ask you a lot of questions! I will then provide you with a finalized itinerary, including links to book.

Your itinerary will include the links for you to book accommodations, tours, activities etc. 

Flights are best to be booked by you, but I can provide tips and recommendations for those bookings. Depending on your departing country, the pricing and options may vary from where I am located.

Once we finalize an agreement on the services I will be providing, I will send you an agreement to sign and an invoice. You can pay the full amount by PayPal, Credit Card, or E-transfer (in Canada).

All payments are final. However, if something happens during the planning stages, then I will refund you a prorated amount.

Totally doable! I can offer itineraries by day so you only pay for what you need.

This would be dependent on the complexity of your trip, requirements and notice on planning. My goal is to have your itinerary to you within two weeks, but that is subject to changes that may occur during the planning of the trip.

I am always available via email and/or texting to assist if I can.

I provide custom travel planning based on my knowledge of many destinations. The goal of the trip is to give you all the information and the tools you need to have the best trip possible.

However, I cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen circumstances that may affect your trip. I assume no legal responsibility or liability for anything that happens on your trip.
