Hi, I'm Melanie! I have been in the travel industry for more than 7 years. I genuinely love what I do: connecting with people, seeing their amazing photos, and hearing about the magical things that happened on their vacations.
I went to college in Nashville at Belmont University and earned a business degree. I briefly worked in the music industry before I moved home to Maryland to take care of my grandfather. I got married and went back to school and earned a Master of Arts in Teaching degree but I decided to be a stay-at-home mom to my three children.
There is nothing more rewarding than motherhood; however, I am a type A overachiever, perfectionist, and planner and need to get out of my house to unwind and turn myself off! My husband is a police officer and I waited tables in Ocean City so I could get out of the house but still have a flexible job to work around his shift work schedule.
I started traveling with my kids as infants, and I love the way I can forget about chores, connect with my family and make memories as we experience new things together. Some of my favorite memories with my family are while traveling. I wanted to help other families experience this same joy so in 2017, I became a travel advisor. They say if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life and that is so true for me! I love planning, helping other families and traveling.
Another huge event for my family was when we became a foster family in 2019. This was a long journey we had been praying about for years. We only ever had one placement because our first foster child officially became our son when we adopted him in 2024! I am officially a mother of four now.

No, I have not been to every destination that I book but what I have done is slept on the airport floor because of cancelled flights. I’ve stood in lines for hours with whiny children waiting for a ride. I’ve traveled internationally and cruised pre, during and post covid so I’m aware of all the changes. I’ve traveled solo, with friends, with grandparents, babies, kids and teens and as a couple.
I have awards and training but most importantly I have experience. I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list! Let me help you discover new places, create lasting memories and turn your travel visions into incredible adventures.
You want a travel advisor who actually travels! Anyone can get training but the real difference is the experience.
Couples Cruise to one of the prettiest places I've ever been- Glaciers, whales, hiking, trains
I customized an itinerary for a vacation with my sons. We planned for years and it was amazing!
One of our favorite vacation destinations. I go multiple times per year. It's magical!
In the past 5 years, I've been to Sandals Grande Antigua, Grenada, South Coast, Montego Bay, Ochi, Royal Plantation, Negril, Royal Caribbean, Royal Bahamian
Sandals Royal Barbados and St. Vincent are on my travel plans for this year. Luxury and five star all the way. My favorite all inclusive resort brand.
My favorite cruise line! I recently took my family on a Very Merrytime Cruise. I've cruised on the Dream multiple times and the Wish.
I went to visit a very dear friend. She showed me the main tourist sites and I visited the Pacific Ocean for the first time. I also visited Disneyland and Universal Hollywood.
We did a custom itinerary with Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Denver and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Nashville is my favorite but we also love the mountains in East Tennessee. We love hiking, tubing and waterfalls.
I've been to both Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood recently. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and hot butterbeer is my favorite!
I took a Tulip Time River Cruise to Netherlands and Belgium. It was my first time navigating Europe and one of my favorite vacations ever.
We love all the Beaches Resorts but Turks and Caicos is our favorite. The beach is gorgeous and my family loves the waterpark.
I recently cruised on Oasis of the Seas. I have another cruise scheduled this year on Odyssey of the Seas
