Hi! I'm Mel! I live in Scottsdale, AZ, with my husband and two boys, but my love for travel started in London, where I was born. Growing up, I explored the world with my family, sparking a lifelong passion for travel.
As a mom, I know the value of family vacations and the memories they create. My family loves cruising—it’s the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and quality time. I also enjoy cooking and discovering new cuisines, as food is a big part of the travel experience!

Melissa was amazing, she gave me all the tricks and trades of the Disney cruise. She has so much knowledge about every little detail you need for a cruise. I couldn’t have asked for a better cruise line travel agent. She was available at all times when I had a question or just details about what I needed for the cruise. She made it very easy and seamless. 10 stars for sure . Even my sister couldn’t believe that Melissa was available all the times we had any questions. Melissa even helped when we were on the cruise with trying to get an excursion for one of the ports. I have already recommended Travel Well with Mel to multiple friends and family. - Quinn M.
We had a wonderful anniversary trip, thanks to Mel! She helped us plan our Hawaiian vacation and was very organized and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered. She even followed up with us after to make sure everything went smoothly. Thanks for making our vacation hopes come to life! - Vicky R.
