• Who's behind the planning
An advisor team that has actually been there.
Travel Squad Vacations is founded by Sarah Riley and Melissa Eck from our base in Dade City, Florida. Trips are planned by a small advisor team, with each recommendation shaped by a mix of firsthand travel, supplier relationships, client feedback, and deep destination focus.
Sarah and Melissa are members of Opulence, the luxury division of our host agency, which gives clients access to preferred rates and on-property perks at top hotel and cruise brands.
