HOW IT WORKS

Bring me the messy version.

Tell me where you're going, what you've already found, and what feels overwhelming.I'll sort through it and build a realistic plan around the way you actually want to travel.We'll discuss the trip before any work begins to make sure it's the right fit.

WHY WORK WITH ME

I plan every trip like it's my own.I've spent years researching routes, comparing lodging options, building itineraries, and figuring out what's actually worth the time.The same process I use for my own trips through places like Iceland, Scotland, Italy, Switzerland, and the American West is the process I use when building itineraries for clients.I don't plan around checklists.I plan around the experience you're hoping to have when you get there.

HI, I'M MELISSAI've always been the person who spends way too much time researching a trip.Not because I need everything planned perfectly, but because I want to know what's actually worth my time.The Wild Crossing grew out of that.I love the famous places, but I also love the side roads, the bookstores, the small-town stops, and the things that don't always make the top ten list.That's the kind of trip I help people build.
