In addition to understanding today’s world of luxury travel, the skills that were important in my prior career as a lawyer – attention to detail, research skills, and client advocacy – are equally valuable to my current clients. I am focused on creating strong, successful relationships with both clients and travel professionals throughout the world. Whether you are a new or seasoned traveler, this focus helps turn your travel dreams into reality.

A graduate of Cornell University (Go Big Red!) and an avid photographer, I travel often for both business and pleasure, obtaining valuable first-hand knowledge which I utilize to customize my clients own memorable travel experiences.

After spending 25+ years at National Geographic working in the global travel industry and over 10 years as Publisher of National Geographic Traveler magazine, my professional career provided an ideal foundation of understanding the business of travel, media partnerships, and the importance of relationships and connections.

My passion for travel extends well beyond my professional career. Travel has been part of my DNA and inspiration since a young age. From immersive family trips to adventure excursions, culinary delights, wellness experiences, cruising to arts and cultural pursuits, my personal travel has been extensive both in scope, destinations and premium experiences.

Jenny Parrish – Luxury Travel Advisor

I live in North Carolina with my 2 sons and husband. I grew up in a family that was incredibly passionate about travel.

If a love for traveling is in our DNA, my grandfather was born with it and passed it along to me. From a young age, I grew up wanting to explore and experience different lands and cultures. I aspire to pass this along to my children and have a goal of taking them to all 7 continents.

My most memorable travels to date have been an African Safari in Kenya & Tanzania, an expedition cruise through the Galapagos Islands, and touring the Tuscany region of Italy. This love for travel is what pushed me to join a team and learn as much as I can about the industry. Planning your next adventure or bucket list destination for you and your family is my forte.

I am passionate about travel and take great pride in providing extraordinary customer service. I love the outdoors so several of my personal favorite trips include skiing the slopes of Steam Boat Springs Colorado, exploring the rugged rainforest and beautiful coastline of Costa Rica, and snorkeling the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. As a bit of a foodie, I love to explore new cultures through their cuisine.

I am excited to help craft and personalize your next adventure with you.


Melanie Thomas - Luxury Travel AdvisorMy travel career began in 1993. I have found that the best part of being a travel advisor is to work closely with my clients to make their travel dreams come true.

My favorite trip to plan is a romantic getaway. I believe that choosing the right resort is the key to a successful getaway. My husband and I have traveled extensively and have had the privilege of staying in some of the finest and most unique resorts in the world. Having first hand experience of these exclusive properties makes it possible for me to recommend the perfect resort to match your travel dreams. Whether it is a beach vacation in the Caribbean, Mexico, Bali, or Mauritius, or a boutique property looking out over the hills of Tuscany, I will work to find the perfect resort for you.

The other travel sector I am passionate about is adventure travel. Nothing can top the thrill of bicycling in New Zealand or the life altering experience of seeing the big five on an African safari. The memories created on an adventure vacation will stay with you for the rest of your life.

I believe that our lives are enriched and broadened by traveling the world. Contact me and together we will work to create a dream and life enhancing adventure for you.
