About

Intrepid traveler with a desire to explore the world and share my first-hand recommendations ranging from off-the-beaten-path expeditions to luxury resort experiences.

Travel style

I enjoy the thrill of new discoveries. I love extremes and find myself traveling to remote destinations, delving into culture, cuisine and traditions to create a 360 degree experience without being disruptive.

I search for and curate totally immersive experiences that fascinate and educate me, while positively contributing to the communities I visit.

On the other end of the spectrum, I love a five-star luxury resort, where I can totally relax, enjoy a fantastic day at the spa, unwind by the pool and sip a glass or two of wine as I watch the sun set.

These are the experiences I craft for my clients, as well.

Michael 's reviews

Michael Kelley planned the most perfect trip for us! When I reached out to Michael I was nervous because it was at such short notice. I had originally planned to plan my own trip but became overwhelmed by not really knowing what to do or what area to stay or what hotels were good. I had done some research but there are so many recommendations out there I didn’t know where to start . I told Michael the vibe I was going for and he delivered an amazing trip! It was adventure packed mixed with cultural and history mixed with a little luxury and some much needed down time to wander the streets of Tokyo and shop!! I couldn’t recommend him more it was a little of everything!! I had the best two weeks of my life!!
