Travel and Pickle ball
With Heart Travel
I organize Carpe Dink’em Pickleball Vacation Adventures and With Heart Travel. Each group trip incorporates a “giving exchange” as part of the experience so that travelers and those in destination form a real connection, offering the ability to break down barriers, build friendship, and deepen understanding.
Travel is a pathway, allowing people of different cultures and backgrounds to establish and form true bonds and real trust. Pickleball is a sport that fosters teamwork and friendly competition. Travel is a way to see the world, learn, have new experiences. Pickleball, a sport where people “play” together!
The combined force of both these elements serves to form trust and understanding between people. Carpe Dink’em’s Pickleball With Heart utilizes the power of travel and pickleball to serve as vehicles toward creating the peaceful community.

Unforgettable Travel Experiences
Our customer’s feedback is essential in building a great reputation and maintaining excellent service.
We are highly recommending Melinda Alcosser as a travel advisor. She has been thorough and extremely efficient with all of our travel adventures. Melinda always has the right answer and if she is unsure, she researches options and gets back to us as soon as possible.
I used to believe that I could handle everything myself. And maybe I could have done it; but why… when Melinda can do it WITH HEART? She handles every little detail as if she were taking the trip with her family. She has a genuine passion for travel and adventure and it is evident in all phases of being a travel advisor. TRY HER… YOU’LL LIKE HER!
I started down the path of researching pickleball travel with Melinda but quickly found that she did it all. We’ve just booked another Rhine River cruise on Avalon and are ready for that adventure next month.
Melinda is everything the consumer is missing these days. She helps you plan your every move, learns alongside of you, stretches your imagination on travel options, is quick to respond, does a ton of background research for you and her follow up is next to none. She’s ALWAYS working for you and that’s simply hard to find in business these days! We’re so very happy to have found Melinda in our travel world!!
Pickleball has become a passion for me, so the opportunity to play in a place as beautiful as Turks and Caicos with a top-notch coaching team was hard to resist!
We joined 41 other women from around the U.S. and Canada for a week of coaching, drills and Pickleball fun.
Melinda, Daniella and Ellen provided great tips in a supportive, constructive way. When we returned to our regular group play, many of them shared with us that there was noticeable improvement.
Their coaching style was not only effective, but it was a joy to learn from them because it was FUN! They have a way of teaching critical skills that make it easy to remember and execute when you get back home. I recommended her Turks and Caicos camp to my pickleball group when I returned from the March 2024 camp, and 10 of them will be joining me this November as I take her course again!! I left the camp with not only new skills, but also a better sense of who I am and what I want as a player.
Melinda and her coaching team are thorough, easy to learn from, and very skilled.
