Melissa Skanes

I love to travel, talk about travel, and plan travel itineraries. I grew up in a small town in northeastern Canada. I was fortunate to travel with my family throughout my childhood and that continued after I moved to Newfoundland for school. I completed a Bachelor's degree and a diploma in Travel and Tourism. Since then, I've worked in different areas of the travel industry and have several years of experience coordinating group travel. Throughout the Pandemic, I decided to become a tourist in my own backyard, and explore the beautiful province I live in. Now I'm excited that things are moving again and I will continue to visit more places on my bucket list. When I'm not travelling myself, I love working with people to make their travel dreams a reality. Special interest groups that align with my own passions, especially food, wine and beer, are particularly enjoyable to work with.
