Travel that delights you
Carefully crafted for those in search of bliss
IMeet Meredith Schnepp
I thrive on the details—the behind-the-scenes magic that makes a trip feel effortless. As a well-traveled mom of two, I’ve explored the world both solo and with my family in tow, so I understand firsthand what it takes to create smooth, joyful travel experiences for couples, groups, and families alike.
Originally from Atlanta and now based in Chicago, I bring Southern warmth and Midwestern ease to everything I do. With a background in nonprofit fundraising and years of working alongside executives, academics, and community leaders, I’ve honed an intuitive approach to high-touch service and thoughtful planning.
I’ve designed custom itineraries for clients across Ireland, Japan, Australia, France, the British Isles, Croatia, Alaska, Hawaii, Italy, and more—each one carefully tailored to reflect the traveler and the destination. When we work together, your trip becomes more than a checklist. It becomes a seamless, soul-filling experience that’s as meaningful as it is memorable.
My mission is to craft seamless, personalized journeys that reflect your unique style, deepen your connection to the world and each other, and leave lasting impressions long after you return.
What my travelers have to say…

After listening to our vision for a trip to Italy, Meredith made our Italian trip a true EPIC experience. Her presentation to start with was professional. The trip itinerary provided us with daily cultural excursions and top notch delicious dinner reservations each night. The itinerary planned by Meredith allowed us the opportunity to truly experience Italy. Arranging for us the transportation of professional drivers and train tickets made the trip stress free. I would highly recommend Sunkissed Bliss Travel for your next European vacation, or for that matter, any of your vacation travel needs.

Working with Meredith is just fabulous. This was the 6th trip she has planned for me over the last year. Her attention to detail, help with pre planning, advice, and knowledge is invaluable. Not to mention the perks I have received from her connections. This trip, specifically, she took care of all of our speciality restaurant reservations, emailed with the concierge prior to embarkation, advised on and booked our excursions and spa treatments. I didn’t have to lift a finger. Her suggestion to cruise in the suite class was well worth the little extra expense. I can’t wait for my next trip planned by Meredith (good news is it’s only 30 days away).

First, Meredith asked me to describe what I needed and wanted. That conversation alone is priceless... Meredith was kind to listen to my conversation and help me find the places that would give me what I needed. If listening skills, building rapport, and translating all of that into ideas of where to go to find it are key ingredients in making the best things happen, then Meredith does all of it very well.

We used Meredith to help us plan our trip to Australia in May 2025. She was quick to respond, understood our wants and needs, and incorporated them flawlessly into the itinerary. We had the trip of a lifetime, and everything went exactly according to plan. It was evident how much thought she put into planning our trip. We had the perfect balance of scheduled activities and meals as well as downtime to recover and prepare for the next adventure. I can't imagine planning a trip without her now!

We had a fantastic experience working with Meredith! She was incredibly attentive to detail, checking in with us regularly before and during the trip. She took the time to understand our interests and came up with creative excursions that perfectly matched what we enjoy. Every aspect of our itinerary was thoughtfully planned. Most importantly, she was always accessible if any issues came up while we were traveling. Her support and organization made our trip stress-free and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Meredith is a fantastic travel advisor. She helped us plan a fabulous trip with a beautiful resort and unique excursion ideas. She planned lots of fun treats at our resort that helped make our trip that much more special. She is very detail oriented and answers all questions promptly. Also, she helped us with a fairly major snag with our air travel which saved us time and money (and more headache). Her out of the box problem solving helped to make sure we were taken care of and put our minds at ease. She also made sure things were tied up nicely when we got home. We truly appreciate her professionalism, empathy, and excellent planning. Highly recommend Meredith!
