Melissa Ulrich - Agency Owner/Travel Advisor

Travel, both domestically and internationally, is a priority for our family. I believe the world is a better place when people take the time to get to know from one another’s experiences and cultures. Taste the foods, smell the scents, and take in the beauty that exists in the day to day.  And of course, learn about the history along the way! 

Prior to entering the travel industry, I graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. I pursued a career in sales and operations management followed by opening my own business in legal services. My passion and my heart remained with travel and I jumped in with all I had to create You Pack, We Plan! I bring decades of professional experience to the planning of your unforgettable vacation and a touch of OCD for organization and details. I have created a talented team of travel advisors to take care of your every vacation desire.

My love for travel was sparked when I was younger, where I grew up camping and visiting state parks all over Texas. Since then, I have been able to explore several states and cities across the country and have started to travel internationally! I love to learn about the history and cultures of the different areas I visit, and of course, taste the local food! I love sharing my passion for travel and planning the best vacation that fits everyone’s needs. I can’t wait to go on new adventures and would love to help you plan yours! .

I inherited my love of travel from my parents and treasure the memories I have of our family vacations.  This is something that I have passed down to my children and we are always looking for a new destination to explore!  As much as I love to travel, I must admit that I love the research and planning part of the trip just as much.  Whether it is a low-key beach vacation, a cruise to a tropical destination, or a multi-city road trip – it is always my goal to ensure that my clients can make the most out of their valuable vacation time in a way that works best for them.

I LOVE traveling, to the extent that I enjoy simply planning trips, even if it’s not for me! Learning about and exploring new places is my passion. I’ve had the pleasure of exploring both East & West Coast and of course the Caribbean. Exploring Europe is next on my list. I can’t wait to help you plan your unforgettable vacation.

My specialty is multi family travel. Planning family travel is a bit like putting together a great puzzle. So many different pieces, but when you snap in that last piece and it all fits, the satisfaction is tangible. I love making that happen for every family, with young kids or in their golden years or a mix of both. I believe there is a limited about of time to enjoy traveling with your children while they are young and I don’t want to miss a moment of that. I have a large family and know how important it is to manage everyone’s needs.

I’ve had the travel bug since I was a little girl! I studied abroad in Ireland, visited Paris with my then fiance, and just returned from an Outlander-themed girls’ trip to Scotland. Before becoming a travel advisorI worked as a teacher for six years--however, my dream was always to work in the travel industry! I truly enjoy the excitement of planning for upcoming vacations. I have three children and have been traveling with them since they were toddlers, so I have plenty of experience with planning family vacations--I can’t wait to help you plan you yours!

I love to travel and I love to help people. My philosophy is simple: I believe travel should be hassle-free and that you should feel like all of your needs have been attended to throughout your trip. I have worked with clients on 5 continents. I recognize that every traveler has their own unique personality and set of expectations. So, I will spend time with you to select the perfect destination and itinerary for you and your family.What I enjoy most about traveling is exploring and learning the history of each new destination I visit.

I developed my love of travel while living in Denmark during a study aboard program in college.  After the six month program, I backpacked throughout Europe and was eager to learn the rich history and cultures, and sample the enjoy local food.  I look forward to visiting new countries and exploring their beautiful landscapes.
Between vacation planning, I keep up with sports and activities with my kids.  I understand how valuable your time can be and I look forward to planning your next unforgettable vacation! .

Travel has many purposes in my life-relaxation, adventure, cultural immersion, rejuvenation.  My most memorable moments are from our adventures during my childhood and now as a mother of 2. The value in learning about other cultures is immeasurable, and I get great satisfaction sharing this with my children. Whether it is a cruise to the Caribbean or a hike through the mountains, I am passionate about travel and love to share my passion with you.  My experience, combined with my attention to detail and planning are what drives me to create unforgettable vacations for others.

Saying I love to travel is an understatement. I love exploring new territories, tasting new foods, and engaging with people from different cultures. I have been blessed with opportunities to share these experiences with family and friends throughout my life. The memories I have made through my travels are priceless, and as a travel advisor, my goal is to help create these priceless memories for you. Let me help you discover new places and experiences, and who knows, maybe even ignite a passion for traveling in you.

I love to see, touch, and taste the world and I believe that traveling is the best way to experience new things and learn more about yourself as well as your traveling companions.  Some of my favorite memories were made on family trips or trips with friends.  Whether it’s a family trip skiing in the Sierra Nevada or B&B hopping in the Scottish Highlands, I’m always looking forward to my next adventure, or helping someone else to plan and realize theirs!  Just let me know how I can help you plan your next adventure.

You might say I’m solar powered: I love the feel of sun on my face. Coffee tastes better around a mountain campfire, and wine tastes better against an ocean sunset. Living in the landlocked, flat Midwest makes enjoying the outdoors difficult for at least half the year, so my family travels to the warmth or bundles up to embrace the cold in order to get our travel-fix. My adventurous family enjoys the history of the United States, white water rafting, ziplining, swimming, and hiking state and national parks. I believe the perfect vacation combines just the right amount of excitement and relaxation.
