For Melissa, traveling is about going off the beaten path, getting your hands dirty, and discovering treasures along the way.
Once upon a time, Melissa worked in finance. Fast forward and she now has two decades and counting of travel agency experience dating back to being one of SmartFlyer’s first team members. Melissa loves tapping into her love for authentic and unique finds on behalf of clients, from the best pub in London to hole-in-the-wall gems in Amsterdam.
Which destinations do you find yourself returning to again and again?
Hawaii has without a doubt become one of my top destinations. Hawaii is so much more than a beach destination. It encompasses beauty, adventure, and a way of life. Italy is so alive with history and culture that it makes you feel as though you’ve gone back in time. Watching the sunrise over the Tuscan hills was so serene, and zipping through the Venice canals was something out of an old film.
Travel Tip
- Use packing cubes – they're great for organizing and making more space in your bag.

Fabulous trip, Melissa did an exceptional job planning and coordinating the various modes of transportation and excursions. We had a wonderful, stress free trip. The JK Capri Hotel was a small, boutique hotel, great food and impeccable service. Ravello was breath taking and we plan to return and visit both places again. Paul loved the boat trip, and it was a highlight of the trip. Melissa is patient, kind and professional, she truly understands customer care, and is an expert in the travel industry. Thank you!!!
