Meet the team: THE WOMEN BEHIND THE BRAND!!!



Meet T & MO — Curators of Taste, Culture & Connection

We’re T & MO, the duo behind Meraki Travels — and the heart of every curated journey we create. As seasoned travel advisors and lifelong explorers, we specialize in elevated, adults-only travel experiences where gourmet food, fine wine, and great company come together in unforgettable destinations.

With over a decade of combined experience in travel, event planning, and hospitality, we know that the magic is in the details — the perfect wine pairing, the hidden gem restaurant, the welcoming host who feels like family.

Meraki isn’t just our business — it’s our passion project, our love letter to global flavor, and our way of building community through travel. Every journey we craft is intentional, inclusive, and designed to transform travel into something deeply personal and joyfully shared.

SERVICES: Why travel with us?

Travel, Curated for You — Elevated, Inclusive, Unforgettable.


Embark on an Unforgettable Journey!


At Meraki Travels, we believe travel is more than just movement — it’s meaning. It’s about immersing yourself in new cultures, flavors, and connections that stay with you long after the journey ends.

As a proudly LGBTQIA+-owned and operated travel company, we create secure, adults-only escapes that celebrate identity, community, and curiosity. Every detail is handled with intention — so you can focus on being fully present, fully yourself, and fully in the moment


Where food meets culture!

Each of our curated trips is rooted in gastro-tourism — blending local culinary traditions with authentic cultural experiences. Picture this: sipping bold wines in sun-drenched vineyards, sampling street food with a local guide, or dining al fresco with new friends who feel like old ones. Every bite is a story. Every meal, a memory.


Stress less. Experience more!


Forget the hassles of planning. We’ve got it all sorted for you—from boutique accommodations to exclusive experiences. Your life is busy enough, so why not let us take the reins? All you need to do is pack your bags, choose the best dates that fit your schedule, and prepare to explore, relax, and enjoy.


Connections come standard!

Travel with us and build your network with like-minded individuals who share your zest for life and love of adventure.

With Meraki Travels, every trip is more than a vacation; it's an opportunity to make memories that will ignite stories for years to come.

Identity-Affirming Environments
We prioritize destinations, venues, and local partners that embrace diversity, ensuring every stop on your journey is inclusive and affirming — never performative.

Think boutique accommodations, exclusive events, private tastings, and meaningful cultural touchpoints — all with the warmth and realness you’d expect from traveling with chosen family.

Camaraderie That Lasts
Meraki trips foster genuine community — whether you're traveling solo, with a partner, or with friends. Many of our travelers leave with lifelong connections and chosen family they met along the way.

This is travel that feeds your soul as much as your senses.
