Tori Melody

House of Travel Devonport

Lovely to meet you — and welcome, fellow adventure seekers!

I’m Tori, your dedicated travel consultant and in-house explorer. With four years in the industry, countless miles travelled, and a genuine passion for crafting meaningful journeys, I’m here to help turn your travel dreams into experiences that stay with you for life.

As a USA travel expert and global theme park enthusiast (yes — Disney and Universal are my happy places!), I specialise in the kinds of holidays that bring people together and spark unforgettable moments. Whether it’s a multi-generational family escape, a self-drive road trip, a backpacking adventure, or a tailor-made private itinerary, I love creating travel plans that feel personal, seamless, and exciting.

Adventure comes in many forms — hiking hidden trails, tasting a city’s flavours on a food tour, discovering rich history, sailing on a cruise, or joining an 18–35s group tour to meet new friends. Whatever your style, I’m here to match you with experiences that broaden your horizons and deepen your love for the world around you.

Alongside planning travel, I also run our store’s social media pages, keeping our community inspired with fresh ideas and insider knowledge.

If you’re looking for a consultant who brings passion, expertise, creativity, and genuine care to every itinerary, I’d love to be part of your next adventure
