Meet Brendan and Melissa

Meet Melissa, a passionate professor of British literature with a deep-seated love for all things Britain. With extensive travels across England, Melissa has not only explored the rich tapestry of the country’s culture and history but also shared these experiences as a seasoned guide, leading large travel groups through Europe’s storied landscapes. Despite her fondness for corgis, symbolized by her cheerful mascot, Melissa confesses that at heart, she’s as steadfast and spirited as a bulldog.

Meet Brendan, Melissa’s adventurous husband, who has traversed the globe visiting over 40 countries. His affinity for England was kindled by his English-raised grandmother, Lady Alice, who imparted to him a love for all things proper and a fondness for the tales of Peter Rabbit. It was a delightful surprise when Brendan discovered, after marrying Melissa, that she shared his deep affection for England. Their mutual passion for the British Isles has only enriched their adventures together. Join Brendan as he continues to explore the world, often with Melissa at his side, sharing stories of their travels and the unexpected joys of their common love for England.
