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 was awesome to work with. This was a last minute trip and she found this great location and organized everything for me from the point I hit the ground. As hotels were getting booked she took the initiative to reserve a few hotels to ensure I had a place to stay. This initiative and forward thinking I appreciated so much as a busy mom and executive. Thank you!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Michele. From the moment I reached out with a rough idea of where we wanted to go, she crafted an incredible, stress-free experience that exceeded all of our expectations.
Every detail was thoughtfully planned—from flights and accommodations to local tours and recommendations. Her communication was prompt and professional throughout, and she went above and beyond to make this a perfect first-time European vacation for my family. She considered every detail of what we wanted to experience and my budget, without compromising on quality.
She truly gave this trip her personal touch, and it was perfect from beginning to end! I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. Her planning, passion and professionalism gave me total peace of mind. She wanted this to be a great family vacation for us, and it was in every single way.
Thanks to Michele's expertise, personal experience and passion for travel, I was able to relax and truly enjoy every moment of our vacation. I’m already looking forward to planning my next adventure with her! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, passionate, caring and detail-oriented travel professional, look no further…Book with Michele Rhudy!
Five stars all the way!
