Richard Melella - Your Passionate Travel Architect
When it comes to travel, my passion is your elation. As a pathological adventurist, I thrive on discovering the unknown in the farthest corners of the globe. From remote Landscapes such as an escape north to Ilulissat at the Hotel Arctic or a rare stay at the iconic Chichele Presidential Lodge in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, Africa, to hidden gems like the wonders of nature that can only be found at the Galapagoes Islands, I'm always on a quest for new experiences that I can share with you, making your journey as exhilarating as it is unforgettable.
With over 30 years of experience running an export company, I've honed a unique skill set that combines logistics, organization, and a deep understanding of global cultures. Today, I’ve channeled this expertise into crafting dream trips for clients like you. The moment you tell me your vision, I'm all in - genuinely excited to help you create the adventure of a lifetime.
In my younger days I had my mind racked with the idea that customer service is the backbone of any business. My father always made sure I knew this while I worked at the family business. Today it's a reflex of mine. My customer's satisfaction is my obsession. I'm available to you day and night throughout your journey until you get home and when you do I want to hear all about it.
Whether you're seeking the adrenaline rush of remote destinations such as up and close at the Serengeti in Tanzania, Kenya during an African Safari or the serenity of a peaceful escape at a secluded resort like the Muraka at Conrad Maldives on Rangali Island, I'm here to bring your travel dreams to life. Let's create something extraordinary together - your next adventure awaits!
Plan With Worldliness, Then Travel With Confidence
My sincere motive in assisting you at creating and watching you carry out your next trip is two-fold: First, it is my very real wish to eliminate the stress and annoyance that often comes with the planning and assembling of a completed itinerary... an itinerary that will be your upcoming trip.
Second, I want to ask you some questions and hear you out, so I get the big picture as to what you're looking to do. With that in mind, there might be an area or two, where giving you some options could enhance your experience.
The bottom line for me is that I assist in whatever way you want assistance. Knowing I’ve done this allows me to feel that I’ve done my job. I believe this qualifies me as your best choice when it comes to travel.
