About
Curious global traveler, relentlessly pursuing joy. Optimist. Communications firm CEO. Girl Mom x3. Fierce believer that travel makes us better humans.
Travel style
I believe that authenticity is luxury, and planning adventures where people can explore, experience, eat and adventure like locals with people they love brings me joy. The best journeys immerse you in a place deeply enough to not just see it, but to live it. My style is quality over flashy, searching for substance and value, with splurges that are worth it sprinkled in. Having traveled the world with my kids since they were young (and now young adults), I understand planning for all ages, including multi-generational adventures.

Michele's reviews
Michele made this trip stress free! From providing several stay options that met our budget and needs to being communicative and transparent the entire time, we loved working with Michele and will be planning our next trip with her. She did the research on location and Dublin secrets so we didn't have to. I appreciated just being able to show up knowing that the accommodations were booked in safe, friendly, and well liked areas. Michele is the only travel agent I will ever work with again as she has earned a crowd of loyal customers!!

Michele was so wonderful! Not only did she find us a great deal, she stayed in constant communication and made booking things such as shuttles and excursions super easy. When we arrived it was so clear she’d been in touch with the staff to make sure our stay was the best possible! We’ll definitely be booking more with Michele and loved the experience.

Michele is an incredible travel advisor! She thoughtfully sourced activities and hotels in Taiwan that suited our interests and needs. She was incredibly responsive and researched alternate options when requested. She took all the stress out of the planning process so we could just focus on having an amazing trip. We are forever grateful for her meticulous planning and natural warmth. She was a joy to work with and created a trip we will never forget!
