Unique travel experiences made by travelers, for travelers. 

Setting out to have a truly unique travel experience is either expensive or difficult to achieve. It shouldn’t have to be.

It’s 5PM and you’re feeling burnt out. You’re dreaming of the Sicily vacation you bought a flight for, it’s the break you desperately need from this drawn-out months long project that seems to never end. But planning for this vacation is just, another thing you have to do.

“There are literally 28 Michelin starred restaurants on island, how do I choose the one to go to?”

“There are so many towns in this island I “must-see”, but I only have 8 days. Where do I even start?”

“Do people take Ubers in Sicily? Should I get a car? How do I do that? Will they let me use my US drivers license?”

…and probably 30 more details you will spend hours researching, IF you’re a good planner.

Well, hello, I’m Michelle, and I happen to love planning vacations.

I am obsessed with traveling. Growing up, if anyone ever asked me what I wanted to do when I grow up, I would tell them “to travel the world”. To date, I’m grateful to have seen 25 countries and 31 states, mostly while having a full time job with regular paid-time-off. I know the hustle of trying to “fit it in”, in the most stress-free travel way possible.

I have planned travels with my husband (we’ve been to 21 countries together, and counting!), friends, family, and of course, by myself. I prioritize everyone’s preferences - from different budgets, energy levels, to priorities (History buff? Adventure? Prefer private tours?”. I haven’t had a dissatisfied client yet.

So how am I different than regular travel agents?

  1. First, I’m not your travel agent, so you don’t have to go through me to make any changes to your itinerary. You get to be independent, but you also don’t have to plan your vacation days on your own. You book your own trip, and you hire me, who will ensure that you only get an outline of your vacation plan (and backup plans). The best part? You can pay me by the day, so you don’t have to pay me to plan your whole trip.

  2. Second, I have great taste. None of those big tour buses, cheesy hotels, tourist-trap restaurants (unless it’s worth it). I research everything personally for you, based on your preferences and budget. I give suggestions based on places I would book myself, and I’ll even make some of the reservations for you.

  3. Third, you will get the opportunity to subscribe to Sidekick, our AI robot that is your best travel friend. Sidekick has all of your travel data, inputted from your itinerary, and you can ask it questions like “what’s the plan for dinner tonight?” or “when is my flight home?” Now this - is revolutionary. We have my husband, Mike, to thank for that.

So what are you waiting for? Shoot me a message. First 30 minutes of chatting is on me.
