Melissa Schoen
Principal | Luxury Travel Advisor | Larchmont, NY
Melissa leads the Tide Rock Team at Elli Travel. Melissa combines many of the things she enjoys most – travel and research, learning about different cultures, working with friends and meeting new people. Her love of travel began at an early age when taking frequent treks cross-country in the back of her parent's station wagon. That love has never wavered, and she continues to enjoy adventures with her husband, one-on-one trips with each of her children, and trips with family and friends to destinations around the globe, including trips in North and South America, Europe, SE Asia, East Africa, and the South Pacific. She strives to use that personal knowledge to make each client’s dream trip a reality.
Leveraging her relationship with her vast network of travel partners around the world, she creates journeys that form lasting memories. A skilled listener and a great organizer, there is no project too small or too large. She dedicates the same attention to detail regardless of scope or budget, striving to figure out what will make each trip unique for her clients.
She lives in Larchmont, NY with her husband, their three children, a cheeky bird, and two very high-strung pups.

What People are Saying
Melissa was fabulous in every way! Planning a trip to Africa felt like a daunting task, and we had been advised that having a knowledgeable travel agent was important. From recommending where to go in Africa, to creating an itinerary that matched our needs and budget, to making sure we knew what we needed to do to prepare and getting our paperwork in order - Melissa was knowledgeable, methodical and helpful, with an eye for all the details. And Melissa let us know that she would also be available during our trip should anything go sideways (which it did not). We felt Melissa had great expertise and knowledge and that she was invested in making sure our trip was perfect. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!
