Melissa Thomas is a multi-passionate entrepreneur who fell in love with traveling while attending concerts in her pursuit to meet Elton John.
She’s traveled to over 20 states including as far North as Boston, as far South as Tampa, as far East as Charleston and as far West as Los Angeles. Melissa continues to travel frequently, often traveling solo.
Her family travels to with trips to Maine, including Canada as their first family flight and international trip.
In August, the family traveled to Edinburgh Scotland for primarily to see The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. One of her rules while traveling anywhere is “local restaurants/cuisine only” which she held to in Scotland despite the fact the local culinary dishes had names like “Haggis” and “Cullen Skink” which maybe don’t sound so inviting, but - spoiler alert - they ARE delicious!
