About Michele

I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois where my love of travel began at an early age. Growing up, we would take family road trips and would always take the "long way." Because of this, I have had the opportunity to visit almost every state in the country. In fact, there are only eight states I have not yet visited!

I’ve always believed that all the magic and memories happen while “taking the long way home” - a belief I’ve applied to being a Travel Advisor and sharing with my clients the lesser-known highlights, insider experiences and off-the-beaten path adventures across the globe.

TOP TRAVEL TIP

If your travel dates are flexible, think about seasonal experiences. I can help you determine the best season to view whales, scale glaciers, enjoy fall foliage, see the Northern Lights, explore Europe’s famed Christmas Markets and so much more.
