Let’s design your custom-crafted journey to Europe.
Through my custom travel design services, I allow my clients to experience Europe in a way they just couldn’t with a click online. Together, we’ll go deeper. You bring your ideas (and feel free to make them BIG); I bring them to life. Discover what’s in store when you trust your European travels to me.
Get ready to travel well with Michelle.
Bespoke itineraries, with a big sprinkling of “special.”
I don’t just plan trips to Europe. I provide you with immersive, unusual, once-in-a-lifetime European journeys.
Because, the truth is, you could book a “big bus” tour of the top sights yourself. But if you want to ...
... hike across Santorini’s caldera to a private picnic set up on a cliffside overlooking the Aegean Sea, hot air balloon over the patchwork Tuscan countryside, take a watercolor workshop with an artist in Provence (where the light is unbelievable), or cruising via e-bike across Chianti, stopping in at family-owned wineries for private tastings ...
.. I’ll make it happen, with the help of my incredible—and always vetted—in-destination partners. I’ve planned all of the above for my curious clients, and would love to craft something special for you, too.
Experience the exclusive side of Europe
but never alone
Whether you’re train hopping across Austria or sailing down the Seine, you can travel easy knowing you have support both back home and in destination. If you encounter any hiccups during your journey, you can reach out directly to my in-country partners to troubleshoot in real time.

HOW IT WORKS—MY PROCESS:
“Michelle is the best agent to help plan your experience and be there with you along the way when you have questions or when things don’t go exactly as planned! I appreciate how responsive she is. Our trip was amazing. My husband and I took my 70-year-old parents to experience Scotland, the birthplace of our ancestors. She carefully helped us plan what senior adults could enjoy. She was very responsive when we had questions. We all had an amazing time!”
— R. Williams
“Michelle planned the absolute best trip for us! Her attention to detail was obvious. There were so many moving parts and everything was seamless. Drivers, tour guides, train and museum tickets (we never had to stand in a line), excellent accommodations, personal service...we felt like royalty! All the work on her end meant zero stress for us! We recommend Michelle 10/10!”
— Shannon Berry
“Michelle assisted me in planning a trip to Paris with my 13-year-old granddaughter. She took time early on in the planning to find out our interests so she could better suggest sites to visit or activities to do. Michelle was able to get a great price on our flights to France. When our departure date needed to be changed, she handled the problem very efficiently. Michelle responded to my questions and emails thoroughly and promptly. A very detailed itinerary and a wealth of information was provided right before departure, so I left feeling confident that I had everything I needed for a worry-free trip. My granddaughter and I loved the hotel and excursions that were chosen, and returned from Paris with many wonderful memories. I will definitely ask Michelle for her help when planning future trips of mine.”
— M. Bly
“Michelle is truly extraordinary, with unmatched expertise, prompt and utterly reliable, always fully informed about any new developments or policy changes. She is also patient and very kind, especially when unexpected things happen. That is an enormous help because you know she has your back and will work hard to get you the best deal and solution to any problem possible. It is a great feeling to have someone like that in your corner!”
— S. Berger
Your questions, answered
Do you charge a fee for your services?
It depends—on the length and complexity of your trip, number of travelers, and other factors. Once I gather more information about the type of travel experience you’re looking for during our consultation call, I’ll share the applicable design fee (if any) with you.
FAQS
What kinds of perks can you get your clients?
While I can’t guarantee perks, since they’re always subject to availability, I do have very strong, established relationships with my travel partners and network—and this gets my clients top-notch service (and perhaps a surprise or two) wherever they go. Possible perks may be an upgraded room category, a spa/dining credit, or being able to snag a reservation at a “booked out” restaurant that I have a special relationship with. I do my best to pack as much value into every trip I plan for you.
Do you only plan trips to Europe?
While Europe is my focus and specialty, I do have a soft spot for designing more resort-style or adventurous escapes to worldwide destinations—like Mexico and the Caribbean, Costa Rica, the South Pacific, Africa, and beyond! You can learn more on my TRIP STYLES page.
