My Story
Luxury travel isn’t just about where you go. It’s how it all comes together. Impeccable hotels, seamless logistics, unforgettable meals, and moments that feel made just for you. That’s where I come in. I curate elevated, thoughtfully organized trips for travelers who value beautiful places, exceptional service, and outstanding food. Whether it’s your first time exploring Europe or your fifth time island-hopping in Hawaii, I make sure every detail, from where you stay to where you eat, is handled with care and intention. Europe is a specialty of mine, especially France, Italy, and the UK. I also plan dozens of unforgettable Hawaii escapes each year, from romantic getaways to multi-generational adventures. Wherever you’re headed, food is always a central part of the experience. From Michelin-starred tasting menus to the best neighborhood ramen in Tokyo or the perfect croissant in Paris, I’ll guide you to the kind of meals that become lasting memories. My job is to take the stress out of planning and deliver a trip that feels both effortless and extraordinary. Just tell me where you want to go, and bring your appetite.
My Travel Style
Refined, food-focused, and effortlessly organized. I specialize in iconic destinations like France, Italy, the UK, Hawaii, and New York—places where great hotels, world-class meals, and local culture come together in unforgettable ways. My style is all about balancing structure with spontaneity, so trips feel luxurious without being over-planned. I seek out properties that blend comfort and character, restaurants worth the reservation, and experiences that go beyond the expected. Whether it’s a wine-soaked escape through Tuscany or a long weekend in the city with all the best tables reserved, I design travel that feels elevated, personal, and beautifully easy from start to finish.

Michael listened to our wants and needs and came through in a big way. From NYC to Martha's Vineyard everything he suggested was spot on. We did an amazing memorable Broadway Show-FRONT ROW, oyster tour, bicycling, viewing mansions, shopping, eating and eating...I don't think we missed a dessert! The entire trip was thought out perfectly. From airplane to rental car to boat ferry it was all done with ease and careful planning by Michael Jude! Thank you, Michael, for all of your help, tedious planning and most of all your patience. Where are we going next?

Five-Star Luxury on Paris' Left Bank
Last fall, I had the chance to visit the incredible Hotel Lutetia — the only five-star luxury hotel located on Paris' Left Bank. This property is absolutely stunning, with a fascinating detail: they used so much marble during its renovation that the foundation had to be reinforced to prevent it from sinking!
From the moment you step into the lobby, the impeccable service from the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. The concierge is attentive and quick to offer excellent recommendations for local cuisine and activities, ensuring your stay is seamless. And, of course, the rooms — opulent, comfortable and surprisingly spacious — are everything you’d expect from a hotel of this caliber.
When I return to Paris, there’s no question that I’ll be staying at the Lutetia again. It’s truly a standout experience on the Left Bank.
