"From the moment we met her, we knew she was the one. Friendly, knowledgeable, and refreshingly non-pushy, Melanie listened to what we wanted and never tried to steer us in a direction that didn’t feel right. Once we picked our destination, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work—offering thoughtful options, refining our itinerary again and again until it felt tailor-made for us."
Travel Is the Story You Remember Longest
Melanie Rodriguez, CTA, VTA
I design journeys for people who want more than an itinerary. Every trip I build starts with a question most advisors skip: who is this trip actually for, and what do you want to feel when you're standing in the middle of it.
What do our clients say?
" Melanie was awesome throughout the whole etravel process. She even added extra experiences that we never woul dhave known about and it made our trip that much more enjoyable. She was always available regardless of the time/day while we were on our trip. Very throrough from beginning to the completion of our vaction."
"We want to thank you for all of your guidance and efforts to set our family up for an amazing trip! It went pretty much perfect outside enduring the weather, but we made the most of it! You were a huge help in making that possible. Thank you again for everything you have done. "

Recognized by leading names in travel media for the kind of planning that turns a trip into a story worth telling.
The work
I'm Melanie, a luxury travel advisor and the owner of Travel with Melanie. I work with a limited number of clients each year because the kind of planning I do, the kind that turns a vacation into something you talk about for the rest of your life, takes real time and real attention.
I don't always work on commission. I charge a planning fee, which means my only job is to get the trip right for you, not to steer you toward whichever hotel pays the highest rate. That independence shows up in every recommendation I make and ensures your trip is exactly right for you.
What I'm known for
Multigenerational travel that actually works for every generation in the group. Accessible and autism-certified travel planning, built around how your family actually experiences the world. Cruise expertise across the lines that matter, from small ship to ultra-luxury. Disney vacations planned by someone who has been going since before it was her job. Private yacht charters, golf travel, and the kind of access that takes years of relationships to build.
