My Story

A West Coast adventurer that is passionate about seeing the world—a proud member of the seven-continent club!

Travel Style

I have an endless desire to travel—everywhere I haven’t been is on my list! I love seeking out unique experiences, from African safaris and Antarctic adventures to stays at boutique hotels and Four Seasons Residences. Some of my most memorable moments include a champagne picnic on the floor of the Grand Canyon and a microlight flight over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

One of my favorite ways to explore a new place is through a cocktail or cooking class. I’ve mixed margaritas in Mayakoba, toured spice markets in Morocco before cooking with a tagine, made pasta in Tuscany, tasted Pisco Sours and prepared ceviche in Peru, and joined a Thai cooking class in Ko Samui, using ingredients from the local market. These are the true cultural explorations I cherish. My attention to detail combined with my vast travel experience allows me to elevate your travel experience and make your vacation dreams come true!

Michelle is absolutely amazing! We have used her services two years in a row to assist us with booking hotels for our travel games and tournaments throughout the baseball season, and she was always able to find us rooms for the entire team (and the parents) even during the busiest time of the year, and was able to lock in the best rates. We will absolutely use Michelle's services again next year! Thanks Michelle!

Michelle is exceptional. She made sure the booking, arrival and exit were super smooth. Myself and my boss had rooms booked for work, and she made it simple so we could focus on the purpose of our trip. We received lovely room upgrades and arrival gifts as well. Michelle is a pleasure to work with!

travel to Sydney

Working with Michelle on our Sydney trip was, without question, one of the best travel booking experiences I’ve ever had.

From the very start, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a standard, transactional process. Michelle took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from the trip and translated that into a booking that felt completely tailored to us.

Communication was thoughtful, and incredibly thorough.

Michelle also clearly has strong relationships and deep knowledge of the properties she works with. The added value she was able to secure and the way everything came together reflected a level of access and expertise that you simply don’t get booking on your own. The Fora perks were exceptional.

You can tell she genuinely wants her clients to have an exceptional trip, and that comes through in every interaction.

If you have the chance to book travel with Michelle, don’t hesitate. She transforms what could be a routine booking process into something truly special — and sets the tone for an unforgettable trip before you’ve even left home.
