READY TO START PLANNING YOUR NEXT GETAWAY?

STEP 1: Fill out the Travel Inquiry Form

You’ll tell me all about your dream getaway – where you want to go, when you want to travel, and how much you’d like to spend.

STEP 2: Consultation Call

After reviewing your Inquiry Form, I’ll get in touch to arrange a call so we can dive into all the details. You’ll select your preferred services, pay the planning fee, and I’ll get started on your personalized proposal.

STEP 3: Proposal Review

I will create a draft itinerary by combining the insights from our discussion, insider information, and a wide network of partners. We’ll fine-tune as needed before locking in your plans.

STEP 4: Confirm your Itinerary & Start Packing

Once you give me the green light, I’ll dive into locking in all the details. Before you know it, you’ll be setting off on an exciting adventure!

Aside from exclusive perks, these are a few reasons why we should work together before you take off on your next trip:

• You’ll save time, money and a lot of energy.

• I'm not just your go-to for planning epic adventures and getting all the bookings in place; I'm also your direct line to the hotel's management team.

• This deserves its own point. You, as my client, pay EXACTLY what you see online. No upcharges. No hidden fees. And hotels LOVE working with travel advisors because they pay far less commission to us than to online booking sites.

• Let’s talk a bit more about those perks! Room upgrades. Free breakfast daily. $50-$200 Food & Beverage or Spa credits. Early check-in/Late check-out. What’s not to love about keeping money in your pocket and arriving/leaving at your leisure?

• You’ll always get the inside scoop on destinations because I’m connected to a worldwide community of Advisors who value knowing the nuances of a place. You’ll be diving into your chosen destination’s unique pace, food, people, culture and quirks – as opposed to racing from one “must-see” landmark to another.

• Finally, it’s worth underscoring that a Fora Advisor, like me, is a real person with industry connections who can help you have the experience you deserve (rather than a booking site with absolutely ZERO hands-on service to offer).

  • "Melissa was prompt with her responses, organized in her planning and extremely helpful with her recommendations. She made planning this trip much less stressful and we can’t wait to use her again for our future travels!"

    Andrea - traveled to Playa del Carmen

  • "I was impressed by the high level of professionalism in planning and organizing my trip to NYC. Attention to detail and genuine care for my particular interests – great restaurants and seeing the best of the city – were evident in every step of the planning. I highly recommend Melissa!"

    Sandra - traveled to New York City

  • "Melissa was incredibly helpful in securing a hotel reservation at the Allegretto in Paso Robles. Her prompt and courteous service made the booking process a breeze. She paid close attention to our preferences and ensured we had a room that exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Melissa, our stay at the Allegretto was delightful and hassle-free. We truly appreciate her excellent assistance!"

    Laurin - traveled to Paso Robles, California

  • "Melissa is so lovely to work with! Her thoughtful attention to detail absolutely made our experience."

    Joanna - traveled to Toronto

  • "Melissa is amazing! She took the time to provide many options for our stay and went above and beyond with wonderful recommendations on restaurants close to our hotel. We visited two of them and absolutely loved them. The Fora perks were great too! Thank you, Melissa, for the wonderful experience."

    Ana - traveled to Toronto

  • "Melissa is both hands-on when helping you plan but also respectful of your traveling style. We did a 16-day holiday with two of our friends and all agreed Melissa helped make our trip stress-free and seamless. I highly recommend using Melissa’s services if you like great recommendations, excellent communication, and peace of mind when traveling. She is knowledgeable, friendly, incredibly responsive, highly organized and an absolute pleasure to work with."

    Sydney - Traveled to Vietnam

  • "This is my second time working with Melissa and I highly recommend her! I have already encouraged several friends to consider working with her on their next trips. It is such a luxury to have someone take care of all the important details on your behalf. For example, Melissa booked our hotels, flights, and airport transfers which meant we never had to think about anything as we moved around Thailand. As an added bonus, we had access to perks such as room upgrades and hotel credits, which were greatly appreciated! I highly recommend working with Melissa for your travel plans, and will continue to partner with her for my future travel! Thanks!"

    Heather - traveled to Thailand

  • "An exceptional travel experience booking with Melissa! Her help organizing transfers, flights and hotels alleviated the stress of planning a last minute trip, and her hotel 'perks' really elevated the experience!"

    Brooke - traveled to Thailand
