Never Tame your Curiosity for Authenticity…
The last 28 years of my life, I have spent
traveling the world extensively, for personal enlightenment and professionally, as a Luxury Travel Curator.
As a Global Location Scout
my mission is to help the director and producer,
bring the film, television show or commercial’s vision to life,
by scouting locations globally, that support the narrative and help to create a believable world.
Using a combination of online research, a network of on-site experts, direct communication and in-person set inspections,
I ensure the best result for the project,
finding and securing locations, that will enhance the audience’s experience through authenticity and visual flair.

COUPLE TWO WEEKS TRIP TO ITALY & FRANCE
We have now been fortunate enough to experience two world class trips curated by Carlos! His attention to detail and desire for perfection is evident from the start. We visited both Costa Rica and Europe in the last six months. On both occasions he created an itinerary that was perfectly suited to our needs. He was in constant contact with us, and also with travel agents around the world in order to make sure that we were having a flawless time!
I’m blown away by the fact that his services come at no additional charge to the client. His pricing has always been fair and often times he has saved us money. He really understands a travelers needs, and prepares them well for what’s to come! I’ll never take a trip without him!

TEXTILES SCOUTING TRIP TO TUNISIA
We had wanted to visit Tunisia for years and shortly before Christmas I contacted Carlos Melia who had led a trip for a friend in Tunisia. Carlos quickly put a great itinerary together for us that was perfectly paced and covered the cultural and historical areas we were interested in. His experience and relationships in Tunisia are key as he arranged for a superb guide, the best Dars/hotels and restaurants. It was flawlessly planned and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our 9 day adventure. Having a travel specialist that knows a country well, as Carlos does with Tunisia, is paramount to a great experience!

TWO COUPLES TRAVELING IN SPAIN & PORTUGAL
Good morning,
We had a fabulous time last week, all executed with perfection.
A special shout-out to the form and guide (Madelena Castro) of the Porto lifestyle tour. This format was something we have not yet experienced and should be an option for every location. She showed us the people, culture, back of house type experience. I can’t say enough about it, just great.
I am looking forward to planning the Iceland adventure. Please let me know when you return and maybe we can chat on the phone to kick-off that process. Thank you.

PRIVATE BARGE IN THE FRENCH WINE COUNTRY
Carlos, YOUR upcoming travels sound exciting!
Our barge trip was really good. A very relaxing trip with our great long time friends. We were off and on the barge several times each day. So besides great downtime on the barge for visiting, reading, etc, we had every afternoon for activities off the barge….a really good mix.
All 8 of us went hot air ballooning, the lunch at the Michelin restaurant was awesome.
The chef on the boat was great, so much good food to eat and great wines.
All the staff were very attentive and pleasant…. another great Belmond experience.!! Carole
