Travel style
I pore over information looking for unique experiences, boutique accommodations and restaurants that reflect the culture of a destination and wine to match. I can be comfortable in a rustic tent and feel quite at home in a five-star hotel. I like to plan trips that offer something extra to travelers, such as cultural immersion or appreciation, and that really create strong memories. I know that each client has different needs and I pride myself on being a good listener and working towards something spectacular for them.

It was great working with Michelle, I would never be able to find a hotel like that by myself. Her work added a lot of value to my vacation! I look forward to working with her in the near future again.
