Profile details
About
Travel is my passion. I have travelled a lot of the world, as a child, with my children and family. I love to travel anywhere and everywhere. Based in NorCal, with a background in art and fashion.
Travel style
My travel style is luxury, but off the beaten path, not fancy, but stylish. I love to research local food and culture, to be immersed into the locale I travel to. I have travelled with my parents, with my kids since they were very young and with my husband and friends. I know how to recommend all different trips for different interests.

Booked travel to Mexico
- April 2024
When traveling to a country that is new to you, it’s hard to make a decision on where to stay! Michelle gave us many options for every city and town, and I am sure all were fantastic, but we chose what we thought was best suited for us! We loved every one. What a luxury to have someone do all the research, and book our choices! This was by far the most productive way to book a vacation! Thank you so much for everything!

Michelle helped us book our hotel stay easily, and was a pleasure to work with. She guided us to the best hotel, based on our circumstances needing a place to stay close to relatives. We would use Michelle for a larger trip absolutely!
