hey, i’m mkm.

i’m a yoga and mindfulness teacher, travel designer and retreat guide, and i’ve been leading groups on cultural and community wellness holidays since 2014. my mission is to make international travel accessible, and i’m well-known for seeking compelling locales rich in heritage and forward-thinking, earth-friendly lifestyles. i curate one-of-a-kind transformative experiences, nurture the bonds of travel companions, and champion your stories of growth through travel.

i balance my joy of exploration with a strong dose of restoration. as a seasoned yoga instructor and therapeutic specialist with over 1000 hours of study, i offer on and off-the-mat resources to help settle and restore bodies and minds when i lead groups. when you’re exploring outside of your comfort zone and borders, taking even a few moments to shift inward can so positively impact your capacity to get the most out of your travel experiences.

i’m here to help you travel well, and i can’t wait to explore the world with you.

‘melissa’s talent for guiding participants to connect with new places and cultures is unparalleled.’
