All-Inclusive, Europe & Rocky Mountaineer Travel

Jumping the Cliffs of Negril

Hi, I’m Melanie, the travel advisor behind Daylily Travel. Based in Ottawa, Ontario, I help clients across Canada and the US plan all-inclusive vacations, European itineraries, and Rocky Mountaineer rail journeys. I also arrange ocean and river cruises and custom trips.

My approach starts with listening. Before researching options, I want to understand who you’re travelling with, your budget, your priorities, and what’s motivating your trip. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family vacation, or a long-awaited journey through Europe, your recommendations should reflect you.

For all-inclusive vacations, I help you compare resorts beyond the photos, considering atmosphere, dining, beach access, room options, and activities. For Europe, I help bring accommodations, transportation, and experiences together at a pace you’ll enjoy. For Rocky Mountaineer, I help you understand the routes, service levels, and options for building a vacation around your rail journey.

My background in hotel conference and event management, travel studies, and personal travels shapes how I plan. I’ve explored resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean, backpacked through Europe twice, cruised the Caribbean, and spent two months driving across Canada.You’ll receive a focused selection of recommendations, honest explanations of the differences, and support before, during, and after your travels.

My role is to help you feel informed and comfortable with your choices.Daylily Travel is an independent agency affiliated with The Travel Agent Next Door.
