Hawaii and Family Vacation Designer

After cancelling 2 big trips to Italy during COVID, we doubled down and decided to hire Michelle, who came highly recommended as a professional vacation designer- best decision ever!

Michelle thoroughly and tirelessly researched and shared all the available options to match our style, vibe, and preferences- stunning locations in Rome, Positano, and Sorrento, each with amazing staff, comfy pillows, Michelin star restaurants, memorable spas, and professional drivers who became fast friends- it was magic!

Hiring Michelle made all the difference in our vacation experience. We love her cheerful, positive, patient and flexible approach to everything. She worked tirelessly and enthusiastically- being seasons travelers (40+ years), it was an exceptional, hassle-free experience, end to end.

From welcome gifts and upgrades at hotels, to VIP experiences and tours in Rome, to private cooking classes in Amalfi, Michelle nailed it; we're already thinking about next time :-)

Michelle helped our family plan one of the most unique Christmas vacations we've ever had, on the Hawaiian island of Maui. As Michelle was no stranger herself to Maui, she was able to craft an unbelievable Hawaiian adventure for us. From surfing to snorkeling...to where we could find the best cinnamon buns in Maui, Michelle had us covered. From the first planning stages where she outlined our options, to checking in with us when we arrived to make sure things were going smoothly, Michelle's warmth and professionalism were top notch. Highly recommended!

Michelle helped us plan a very special trip for our family. She helped us define what we wanted the trip to be about, and then she suggested a variety of ideas and options. She was so patient with our many revisions, and she helped us make smart decisions all along the way. It was wonderful to not have to worry about bookings and all the associated details. The trip fit our family very well. We did a lot, and we had just the right balance of activity and rest. She checked in with us during the trip, and we were touched by her genuine excitement about this lifetime experience for us. When our flight home was delayed, she contacted us right away to find out how she could help. We are still looking back on the trip and remembering all the details that made the trip memorable. We would not hesitate to seek out Michelle's expertise for another trip, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable Hawai'i experience!

Michelle is fantastic! Super responsive and prompt. Worked with our budget and ideas to find multiple options and was very flexible!

Michelle is a must have for your next family vacation. She helped our family plan a last minute spring break cruise to Mexico and it was such a great trip. She was able to handle booking, made sure we were prepped and ready to go and checked on us while we were gone. She even has the ability to book awesome excursions in port and we had a great experience ziplining on an affordable excursion booked through Viago in Ensenada. I highly recommend using Michelle to help do the leg work for your next vacation!
