My Story
Midwest-based Travel Nurse who spends way too much to researching places to live for her next 3-month contract and finding the hidden gems in all the small, big and foreign towns!
Travel Style
As someone born and raised in the Midwest who is now a travel nurse, I love to do both local and far travel. Finding out what small towns have to offer and seeing how they come to life is one of my favorite things to uncover. Sometimes they are the best hidden gems! I'm all about finding the things the locals love and recommend doing, therefore getting that immersive and one-of-a-kind travel experience.

Michelle was amazing to work with! She provided multiple options at varying price points while remaining centrally located within the city. She was very quick with her responses and booking and was more than willing to make adjustments as needed. I am so glad we could utilize her services for this trip!

Michelle was great to work with, as we were finding ideas that we wanted to include in our trip she would do extra research to ensure the we had a great experience. She tailored our trip to us. Helped to shift our time to maximize more time in a specific city. And even at the last minute looked into a change my husband suggested and let us know how much it would cost to make that change. She sent timely reminders to make restaurant reservations and a last minute check list. The day we were leaving, let us know if the storm delays us to keep receipts to turn in to insurance. All of her work made the trip so relaxing!

Michelle was amazing! She went over all the details with us a month prior and took the time to answer all our questions as this was our first trip to Scotland. If there is another trip in our future we will definitely give Michelle a call!

A Magical Christmas in New York City: Iconic Highlights & Local Holiday Gems
New York City during the holidays feels like stepping into a sparkling snow globe. I love returning each winter because every corner of the city transforms—brownstones glow with warm lights, shops dress their windows with whimsical displays, and even locals seem to walk with a little extra holiday spirit. What makes NYC so special is the way it blends timeless traditions, like the Rockefeller Center tree and holiday markets, with small neighborhood moments you only find by exploring beyond Midtown.
