About Melissa
With over 36 years of experience in the travel industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a true passion for creating unforgettable journeys. My career has spanned corporate and leisure travel, as well as senior management roles across the globe, including with world-renowned brands such as Centurion in the UK (a division of American Express), where I looked after high-profile clients including Lords, Entrepreneurs and C-Suite travellers.
My personal travels have taken me to nearly every corner of the world - from trekking with gorillas in Africa, to exploring the majority of Asia, skiing in Canada, sailing through Scandinavia and the Faroe Islands, discovering Mexico, Egypt, the USA, and much of Europe. These first-hand experiences allow me to bring authentic insight and recommendations to my clients.
In recent years, I have chosen to specialize in cruising, completing CLIA's 360 Conference to become a certified cruise expert. My expertise spans the full spectrum of cruising, from luxury voyages and river cruises to expedition and adventure cruises that reach some of the world's most remote destinations. Through my association with respected partners such as Virtuoso and other leading travel brands, I am able to offer truly bespoke, unbiased, and tailor-made travel experiences that match each client's individual style and dreams.
Whether you're seeking a once-in-a-lifetime expedition, a luxury cruise, or a personalized itinerary crafted just for you, my goal is to make every journey seamless, memorable, and perfectly suited to you.
