In this role, I've developed my skills as a problem solver, expertly addressing the unique needs of business travelers with domestic and international bookings as well as booking vacation packages. I am thrilled to help you with your ideal getaway. I would love to share my travel experiences, which include many great trips throughout the world. Cruising can include so much of the world. Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat or an international adventure, from Branson to Budapest. Let me turn your travel dreams into reality and create lasting memories

This trip was beyond anything I imagined. The resort Michelle picked for us was stunning, and the all-inclusive worked well for our family. The excursions recommended were perfect for us and were suitable for the oldest to the youngest. You made it so easy and worry-free. Thank you for taking the time to listen to what we needed in order for everyone to have fun.

Unforgettable road to Hana
Reviewed By Nicole D - Overland Park, KS | Traveled to Maui Island | Hawaii | USA
Michelle curated our trip to Maui. She insisted we take a day to drive the road to Hana. We read about it, but were not sure about driving it ourselves. Michelle found a "tour" just for us, so we could stop where we wanted. We enjoyed every waterfall and even took a picnic and ate by a waterfall. We stopped at the halfway point that Michelle suggested. It was the cutest little stand, and we indulged in the famous banana bread, which lived up to the hype. What a trip, thank you Michelle for helping plan for these amazing memories.

Hawaii adventure
Hawaii, what does that word bring to mind? Flower Lei’s, the plush green everywhere, the briny smell of the ocean, the fragrance of the Plumeria flower, the friendliness of everyone wherever you go. These are the first things I remember. I will never forget the way the sun reflected a glow on my mom’s face as the sun set on Waikiki Beach. My si...
