About Me
ESCAPE TOGETHER—
AND COME HOME TRANSFORMED
Your most curious selves, most connected selves, most resilient selves. Because when you step away from the hectic pace of day-to-day life—and step into a world of discovery—amazing things happen.
Your wonder leads the way. Your playful side comes out. Your relationships deepen—both to one another and the world around you. And your laughter and renewed sense of joy carries you all the way back home.
I design vacations that allow you & your family to be your best selves.
Give in to wonder—and give yourself the gift of a thoughtfully designed, thoroughly tailored vacation:
The real beauty of family travel, though, is that what happens in London or Jackson Hole or Patagonia follows you home. Moments become memories, and the connections you foster on vacation stay with you. They turn you into better parents and better partners, but every day.
So if you’ve been longing not just for more time together—but for more bond-building, awe-inducing, life-changing time together—then you’ve landed in exactly the right place.
I’ll work one-on-one with you to design a trip that fosters deeper connections with the most wondrous places across the globe, and with the very special people you yearn to discover it all with.
In short, travel gives us space to step into the best versions of ourselves.
As a luxury travel advisor, I design custom journeys that allow my clients to step away from daily life and share experiences that are both meaningful and unforgettable—whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or a beautiful escape to rest and recharge.
For many of us, life moves quickly. Even when we’re all under the same roof, we’re often pulled in different directions—by work, school, schedules, and screens. But when we travel, the pace shifts. I’ve seen how a thoughtfully planned trip invites presence—with your partner, your children, and even with yourself.
It might be a parent watching their child light up with curiosity in a new environment, a couple rediscovering what it feels like to explore a new place together, or a family laughing around a table in a place where no one is rushing off. These are the moments I plan for—seamless, personal, and completely unhurried.
I founded MN Signature Escapes to help couples and families experience the kind of connection that only travel can bring.

Meet Melissa Nagelberg
Your time is precious. Not only the time you spend connecting on your vacation—but the time it takes to stitch it all together when you already have a million (and one!) things on your plate.
That’s why I invite you to hand off the planning to me. Save hours of research— and save yourself from the stress of second guessing—and instead savor a trip that fits you perfectly.

Paris + Amsterdam
My first big international trip came courtesy of my grandparents—this incredible trip broke down age barriers and allowed me to connect with my grandparents in whole new ways!
NUMBER ONE
Rome
I studied abroad in the Emerald City, and my initial homesickness gave way to a profound love of art and architecture that I still carry with me today.
NUMBER TWO
London
We lived in London for 2 years—during the height of COVID!—and I fell in love with the quiet corners of this dynamic city as I explored with my boys.
NUMBER Three
Tanzania
Hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro with my then-fiance (now husband) was the thrill of a lifetime, as our frozen toes warmed as the sun rose over the mountain.
NUMBER Four
Patagonia
My husband and I are a bit of adventure junkies, so a hiking trip through Chile and Argentina was a bucket-list dream come true.
