Meet the Founder

Santorini

Hi, I'm Melissa.

I've always believed travel changes us.

After years of watching women put everyone else first, I created Boarding & Bubbly—a place where women 40+ can finally put themselves on the itinerary.

Whether you're travelling solo, recently retired, newly single, or simply ready for your next adventure, you'll never have to explore the world alone.

I can't wait to travel with you.

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."
"Collect moments, not things."
"Adventure is always better together."
