MEET THE DREAMER BEHIND THE PLANS

Hey there, fellow wanderer! I’m Melissa—your travel alchemist, dream-weaver, and architect of unforgettable escapes. My story began between two vibrant worlds: Eastern Canada and, until I was 12, the colorful streets of Guadalajara, Mexico. There, I immersed myself in the arts—ballet, theater, and the magic of storytelling—while soaking up the energy of a city full of mariachi, culture, and creativity.

But life wasn’t all about curtain calls. Living in a beautiful neighborhood while witnessing the realities of poverty shaped my perspective, teaching me to see the light and the dark, the big and the small. This balance of beauty and contrast drives me to create journeys that are not just visually stunning but deeply meaningful—trips that connect you to the heart of every destination.

Today, that same curiosity and passion fuels my mission: curating extraordinary experiences for extraordinary people. Whether it’s a private boat ride along the French Riviera, a secret culinary tour in Paris, or a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Marrakech, I craft itineraries designed just for you—because you’re not here for just any trip. You’re here for the trip.

While you’re busy making memories, I’ll be behind the scenes, taking care of every last detail. So, if you’re ready to dream boldly, travel artfully, and embrace the world with heart, imagination, and a touch of luxe, let’s make it happen.

HOW I WANDER THE WORLD

When I travel, I’m all about embracing the rhythm of a place—not just ticking off tourist spots. I believe the magic happens when you let yourself sink into the local lifestyle, with unhurried exploration and a touch of serendipity.

I don’t follow a checklist or a tight schedule. I prefer to wander and see where the day takes me, allowing the destination to reveal itself at its own pace. After all, the real beauty of a place—its food, its people, its quirks—unfolds when you stop rushing from one “must-see” to the next.

The secret? It’s all about slowing down. Like Mae West said, “Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.” And that's how I like to travel—slowly, deeply, and with a sense of wonder.
