Melanie describes herself as dedicated, passionate and reliable. She prides herself on her unquestionable worth ethic and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are looked after no matter where they are travelling.
Having spent two years travelling the world in her post-schooling years, Melanie moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil where her passion and incredible knowledge for South America began to grow. She fell in love with the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, the breathtaking Iguazu Falls, and of course, the enchanting Machu Picchu!
Melanie’s adventures took her next to the UK where she consolidated her love for travel in her first job as a travel agent in 2005. Since then, her deep knowledge of all things travel and devotion to creating one-of-a-kind holidays for her clients has simply become greater and greater. Melanie loves to create bespoke itineraries designed to perfectly match the unique needs of every one of her clients, and you will find her jumping for joy when these span Europe, South America or Africa.
She’s planned everything from luxury travel experiences to a Las Vegas wedding, family holidays, group sporting events, bucket list adventures and so much more.
Melanie’s attention to detail is second to none, and she spends dedicated time connecting with her clients to ensure she understands exactly what they need. She will cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i’ when finding you the perfect hotel, best places to stay, best tours to experience and so much more.
When it comes to her own travel adventures, Melanie will never forget her two weeks in East Africa in a 5-star luxury safari joined by the mesmerising wildlife and a beautiful group of people. Something that will always stay with her is witnessing a group of elephants in mourning at sunrise from an open-air Jeep.
She heads to Hamilton Island every year for a quick beach break, but when she’s craving a true moment to reset and recharge, Hawaii is her go-to. Maui holds a special place in her heart, as it’s where she celebrated her engagement – complete with chasing the best views in a convertible, beach trips, farm-to-table cuisine and magnificent sunrises and sunsets.
Melanie is ready to design your next one-of-a-kind holiday, no matter what you might be dreaming of.

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
Creating a 3 month Antarctica and South America itinerary for a single client. it was a complex itinerary (with 19 individual flights!) and it was so great to see it all come together and have the client return and have the most amazing experience and time.
What is your number one travel tip?
Take Vegemite when travelling. Make sure you have good noise cancelling headphones for the plane and a good book! Take a diary with you and write about your travels and experiences so you can cherish those memories forever.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
I love Maldives - it gives you the sense that you are so far removed from the world in your own little private oasis. The stunning water and marine life are nothing like you have ever seen before. I also love East Africa for the stunning landscapes, scenery and amazing wildlife - it's a feeling that never escapes you, witnessing the animals in their natural habitat.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
I make sure I listen to their wants and needs, and go above to exceed their expectations by recommending things they would never think of. I am always available for them if they are in an urgent situation or if they just have a question when they are travelling. My clients know that I truly care about them and their holiday - that's why they always come back to me!
