Meet your travel planner

Melanie can plan your dream vacation, wherever your imagination takes you.

Melanie’s love of travel began as a child, but really took off after a fateful trip to Paris at the age of 14. Pre-internet and pre-smart phones, this vacation was haphazardly planned and included food poisoning, getting lost on the Eiffel Tower, the coldest winter in France in 30 years and many cultural mishaps. Since then, she has learned the art of planning, researching and organizing to ensure magical one-of-a-kind journeys.

Passionate about seeing the world, Melanie has traveled to over 45 countries on 6 continents, but France remains her favorite place to return to. The croissants, the architecture, the romance and the people keep drawing her back to this beloved country.

After years of planning vacations for friends and family, Melanie decided to start her own travel planning business. She wants others to enjoy the luxury of once-in-a-lifetime trips, but without the stress and hassle of planning it. She has expertise in all kinds of travel and logistics, and above all wants to make every trip something bespoke and memorable (for all the right reasons!)

Melanie’s background gives her a unique perspective on each travel experience she plans, and her attention to detail is second to none. Based in San Francisco, Melanie can plan your dream vacation wherever your imagination takes you.
