Past Testimonials

The Insider Travel for Women retreat to Mexico was an invaluable experience, offering a rare opportunity to step away and focus on myself with intention. I built meaningful relationships with other women in the travel industry, shared in their inspiring stories, and benefited from Melissa’s expert guidance, which provided real frameworks for personal branding, confidence building and owning your accomplishments. The hotel setting and casual beach excursions created space for authenticity and connection, leaving me recharged, inspired, and confident to make a bigger impact in my professional life.

The women's leadership retreat was an incredibly enriching experience that exceeded my expectations. The combination of thought-provoking content, led by insightful coaching sessions, and the opportunity to network and connect with other driven women created an atmosphere of growth, openness, and support. The balance between structured learning and relaxation allowed me to reflect deeply on both personal and professional development. I left feeling empowered, with new perspectives, meaningful connections, and practical tools that I can apply in my career. It was truly a transformative experience, and I look forward to future retreats!

“An Unforgettable Weekend of Growth and Connection in Cancun!” Attending The Insider Travel for Women Retreat in Cancun was truly a life-changing experience! What made the experience special were the wonderful women I connected with. We bonded through shared experiences and inspiring each other. This retreat was the perfect balance of relaxation, fun, and growth. I returned home feeling lighter, more focused, and incredibly inspired.

Wonderful weekend connecting with other women in travel, recharging, and strengthening my personal skills and network!

This was such an enriching experience both professionally and personally, I walked away with new learnings, new friends and an expanded professional network!
