“Robin helped me evaluate what would make the most sense given our interests, ease of getting around and time. She gave us several hotel options for each location so we could choose and book myself to save money. Robin was very patient and a great listener. She saved me time and gave me comfort that our trip was going to be wonderful and that we were getting the best of what France had to offer. I would absolutely recommend her to others. I only wish she covered more countries.” – Kate Cohen
How it Works
- First, you’ll request a travel consult using the contact form. Please include details about your trip and what you need help with. The more specific you are, the better.
- I’ll email back with a few follow-up questions and I’ll forward along an invoice.
- When I receive payment, I’ll get back in touch with some available consult times.
- Once we agree upon a time, you’ll provide your contact info. I’ll be in touch at our scheduled time and we’ll chat for up to an hour.
”Many folks love fly by the seat of your pants travel and my husband and I love planning the details for months in advance! But even the most savvy travelers get tripped up when discovering a new locale. Robin was just what I needed to take the edge off the planning anxiety regarding our Tuscany and Rome trip. Her hour-long consult helped ease my pre-trip concerns. I’m so grateful I found My Melange and look forwarding to using Robin in the future for my Paris trip and any other Europe travels.” -Michelle Meals

If you think a travel consultation would be helpful for your next trip to France or Italy, get in touch by filling out the contact form. I’d love to hear from you!
