Melissa Rarick, Dream Vacations franchisee has an affinity for travel. Her love of exploration and her desire to understand and experience other cultures made the decision to go into the travel industry a natural choice. In her search for franchise opportunities, she arrived at Dream Vacations as her final destination.
In addition to her own love of travel and her curious nature, she loves seeing the smiles of her clients when she helps make their travel dreams come true, exemplifying her highly customer service-oriented principle. She admits, “Making other people happy has always been rewarding for me.”
Melissa is an advocate for travel’s ability to impact mental wellness. Shifting the way we view travel from being a luxury to a necessity, to being present with self and family, and to nurturing those relationships lends itself to overall health. She stresses the importance of taking time out to check in with ourselves in order to see what we need, asking questions like, “Are we happy?” and “What changes or adjustments do we need to make?” The mental flexibility to be able to let go of the day-to-day and be in the here and now is linked to overall cognitive health and personal growth. Exposure to new cultures, ideas, and experiences can stimulate creativity and new ways of thinking. In short, travel fosters self-enhancement, reduces stress, and provides mental rejuvenation, which all contribute to better overall mental health.
Dream Vacations can fulfill a variety of travel packages to any destination while offering significant buying power to their clients.

These causes hold a special place in Melissa’s heart and fill her with pride through her participation.
