About Me

Experiencing a glacier landing from Talkeetna!
Experiencing a glacier landing from Talkeetna!

With more than 8 years in the travel industry, I've transformed my passion for exploration into a career dedicated to crafting perfect vacations for my clients.

Even before becoming a travel planner, I fell for the magical worlds of Disney and Universal Studios.  This helped me hone my expertise in creating unforgettable theme park adventures.

My love for cruising blossomed into a shared passion with my husband, Brian, leading to the creation of our popular YouTube channel, "Wanderlust with Melissa and Brian." Together, we capture the essence of cruising, offering viewers a glimpse into the wonders of the sea through our engaging cruise vlogs.

Whether navigating the breathtaking Mediterranean, the rugged beauty of Alaska, or the sun-soaked Caribbean, my expertise shines through, making me a trusted advisor for cruise enthusiasts.

Beyond cruising, I am an expert in the Cancun Riviera Maya area, where I excel in planning both romantic getaways and family vacations. From dreamy honeymoons for couples to action-packed resorts for families, I know the perfect spots and activities to ensure everyone has an unforgettable experience.

My commitment to my clients goes beyond just planning trips. I take pride in understanding their unique preferences and desires, ensuring every vacation is tailored to create lasting memories. Whether it’s a serene beach escape, a thrilling cruise, or a magical theme park adventure, I am dedicated to making your travel dreams come true.

Testimonials I've Received

"Melissa is the most efficient travel agent I've ever worked with! I believe her personal travel experience makes her second to none. She booked a trip for us to The Florida Keys between Christmas and New Years and with her help, the process was seamless and the trip was effortless on my part." -Kelly L

"We had the best experience with our Disney World, Melissa Ragazzi! She planned a trip for 17 of us, and she spent so much time and energy into making our trip perfect!" -Laura Beth

"Melissa helped us plan and prepare a Disney vacation in under 2 months. With our large family and son with autism, we were unsure how to navigate the parks. Melissa went above and beyond answering every question and helping us prepare. Great experience!" Laura K

We were able to create amazing memories stress free thanks to Melissa!
Reviewed By Ashley N - Flowood, MS | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Melissa was absolutely amazing!!! She had our Disney trip planned out beautifully. Our itinerary was filled with a different theme park a day and contained great places for our family for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All of the restaurants that she had on our itinerary had great food and it was such a great vibe for my family. She knew Disney like the palm of her hand and she didn’t miss not one detail. She took all of the stress out of planning a trip like this for my family and I’m so grateful for her. Her itinerary even contained the best snack shops to redeem snacks during theme park days. I can’t say enough about how amazing and skilled she is with what she does. Transportation was also included within the itinerary as well. We were able to create amazing memories stress free thanks to Melissa.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Melissa is the best!
Reviewed By AndyT - Madison, MS | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Melissa was great to work with from beginning to end. This trip to Disney we did not want to stay at a Disney Resort. She recommended a great hotel for our short stay, close to everything, easy quick Uber rides. On our way back our flight out of Orlando was delayed arriving little by little. We had already checked in. We decided it would best to change as our connection flight would be in jeopardy. She was able to put us on a different flight WITHOUT us having to talk to anyone from the airline! We simply got a new boarding pass at the gate. Good thing we (us and Melissa) changed flights when we did because while boarding we learned that the flight we did get on was 100 percent full. Had we delayed, we might not have made it home when we did.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The hilltop monasteries of Meteora Greece

The experience of our two-day tour from Athens to the ancient monasteries atop the hills of Meteora, just outside Kalabaka, Greece, was nothing short of breathtaking. We arrived in the evening and stayed at the Meteora Grand Hotel in Kastraki, nestled at the base of the Meteora hills. From the hotel, we could catch glimpses of some of the monast...
