Meet Melissa
Hi, I'm Melissa Fox — travel planner, research enthusiast, and the person who happily takes the "how do we even start planning this trip?" part off your plate.
By day I'm an interior designer, which probably explains a lot about how my brain works. I love thoughtful details, well-planned experiences, and making things feel just right. Travel planning naturally became my second career because it combines everything I enjoy most: research, organization, creativity, and helping people create amazing memories.
At home in Buffalo, NY, life is busy in the best way with my husband and our two boys. We're a travel-loving family and try to explore somewhere new whenever we can.
I genuinely love the planning side of travel (yes, I'm that person). I'm a bit of a research enthusiast and enjoy digging into destinations, comparing resorts, and fine-tuning the details so your trip feels easy, seamless, and exactly right for you.
My goal is simple: take the stress of planning off your plate while helping you create a vacation that feels completely tailored to you. No one-size-fits-all itineraries here — just thoughtful recommendations, honest advice, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work so all you have to do is enjoy the trip.
Think of me as your travel planner, researcher, and behind-the-scenes trip organizer — making sure every detail is taken care of before you even pack your suitcase.
