About you

You are incredibly busy - whether with planning a wedding, a career, or with family responsibilities - you can’t even think about planning a vacation even though you seriously need one. With only a few days of vacation a year, you know you need to make them count but you don’t know how to choose a destination or hotel that’s right for you.

You believe that travel is one of the best things you can do with your life and you’re willing to spend a little more for quality experiences and accommodations.

In the past you’ve booked your own travel, and sure, it was fine but then there were those times when you accidentally ended up in an odd neighborhood or in hotel rooms that did not match the pictures you saw online. You’re not willing to take that risk again! 

You’re looking for travel plans that exude style, luxury, rejuvenation, and adventure.

So it comes down to this:
You’ve got a trip to plan and I’m the expert to help!

I’m Marisa,

the founder and luxury travel advisor behind DeSalvio Travel.

I became a travel advisor because travel absolutely changed my life.

In high school and even in college, I was painfully shy and introverted. I lacked the confidence to try new things and struggled to get out of my comfort zone.

But that all changed with a life-changing trip to Italy.

Inspired by my travels, I moved to the Middle East to become an English teacher. I learned how to navigate rooms of people from all different cultures and I learned how to be brave.

I traveled solo to the Maldives and China, hiked the Everest trail, swam with sharks - each time surprising myself that a shy girl from the middle of nowhere upstate NY could jump into these fantastic adventures.

I grew confident and courageous because of the people I met, the experiences I had, and the cultures that taught me new lessons.

After traveling to nearly 30 countries, I became a travel advisor because I love helping my clients experience the transformational power of being in a new place.

My business is affiliated with the best and most respected travel agency in the country. Through their wonderful partnerships, I have access to the most exclusive hotels and travel experiences in the world.

I love helping my clients plan adventurous Honeymoons and family trips they'll never forget!
