BlueGold Travel is a boutique luxury travel advisory, an independent affiliate of Uniglobe Travel Center, a Virtuoso®  Member. 

As founder, I work one-on-one with my clients to plan trips that feel personal, effortless, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. My approach is collaborative and detail-focused—I take the time to understand how you like to travel, then shape each journey around what matters most to you.

Whether it’s a thoughtfully paced European itinerary, a special-occasion cruise, or a relaxing island escape, I handle the planning so you can focus on the experience. Through Virtuoso, my clients enjoy trusted partners, added on-property perks, and support before, during, and after travel.

My goal is simple: for you to feel confident, cared for, and excited about every trip we plan together.

Let’s create your next unforgettable journey.

Warmly,

Melinda
