Stephanie F.

"Melinda is a phenomenal vacation planner! She made our bucket list trip to South Africa a trip that I relive in my mind often. She planned every step of the trip from our drivers to the experiences we enjoyed. Although we were traveling to a different country, we felt extremely safe as Melinda took the time to learn about the countries we were visiting and made sure to educate us on cultural differences and identify the best activities for us to do. The hotels she coordinated for us were exceptional and the safari experience was 10/10. I will only use Melinda when planning international/ bucket list trips because she deeply cares about her clients and giving them the best experiences possible. She does the research and allows her clients to go enjoy the vacation they're on with as little stress as possible. Melinda is simply the best!"
