My Story

Hi! I’m Michelle, a NYC-based publicist turned ENL educator with a passion for thoughtful, well-designed travel. After living in New York City and London, I’ve developed a love for discovering the spots you typically won’t find on your feed. I focus on planning trips that feel tailor-made to you, whether that’s a cozy weekend away, a family vacation, or a solo reset.

I’ll help you uncover local favorites, avoid tourist traps, and get the most out of your budget while taking the logistics off your plate. I’ll handle the details so you can enjoy a seamless, memorable, and stress-free trip.

Travel Style

I’ve always loved exploring (and photographing) new cities, states, countries, cultures, and cuisines. After studying abroad in London, I caught the travel bug and became passionate about researching, planning, and executing exceptional trips for myself, friends, and family. I look for fun local experiences, hidden gems, breathtaking views, and where to unwind—as well as where to be wined and dined. I strike the balance of boutique and luxury, supporting family-run accommodations while also encouraging occasional indulgences.

Michelle was so unbelievably helpful when booking my trip! She had amazing hotel suggestions and areas to stay in! She went above and beyond and I’m so happy we booked with her! I don’t know what we would have done without her! Truly couldn’t say enough great things about her and her experience and the thoughtfulness she provided us when booking our travel with her!

Michelle always goes the extra mile with bookings! She was so helpful in finding us a hotel to stay in the area we wanted to be in - she even sent multiple options because she’s that great! I was so happy we booked with Michelle because she knew exactly what we were looking for and found us an amazing trip! I’ll always book with her!

Michelle was wonderful, giving me great advice about which area of Paris to stay in and helping me narrow down my hotel search to a wonderful location.

I will be back!
