oh, hi!

My name is Melissa and I’m from Branson, Missouri! I’m married to my husband Zach of almost 10 years and we have 3 beautiful children: Xander, Jack, and Theo. We love having adventures and living in what seems to be the world’s biggest playground makes that super easy! I know a thing or two about travel and decided to make it my career!

A little more about me:

I love music and seeing live shows! This past year, I saw Imagine Dragons, Jelly Roll, and went to the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas and got to live my little teen emo heart dreams out. I love to travel for the shows I see. My favorite concert I’ve ever been to, besides WWWY? Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour in Kansas City, Missouri!

I’m a band mom! My oldest does marching band with his high school band and plays the baritone during marching season and tuba during concert season. We travel all over Missouri for competitions, and occasionally we travel to different states. It’s a great time!

My favorite travel destinations are San Diego, Las Vegas, and New Orleans!

I look forward to helping you plan the trip of your dreams. Traveling has been one of the best parts of my life, whether it’s a road trip or hopping on a plane, and I love finding the most unique hotels, restaurants, and activities, especially if they’re hidden gems.
