What We PlanEvery Way We Help You Travel
From a single hotel booking to a multi-stop family trip, here’s what’s included in working with an advisor instead of booking it yourself.
Every trip starts from a blank page, not a package. Custom itinerary design means Michelle builds the days around how you actually want to spend them — with hotels, transfers, and experiences already arranged, so nothing is left to sort out once you're there.
Custom Itinerary Design
01Booking a five-star hotel directly usually means the standard room and no one to call if something's wrong at check-in. Luxury hotel booking through Michelle works differently — her relationships with hotel contacts mean requests get seen, not filed.

02At partner properties, complimentary hotel booking through Michelle can include a room upgrade when available, daily breakfast for two, and early check-in or late check-out — at no added cost. It's what comes standard when you book through an advisor.

03The first travel consultation is free, with no pressure to book anything after it. It's where you talk through what's worked or gone wrong on past trips, and what you actually want out of this one.
Travel Consultation
04Group trips usually fail for one reason: too many people trying to agree on too many decisions. Group travel planning means collecting everyone's must-haves up front, then building one itinerary that works for the whole group.

05Not every all-inclusive resort delivers on the marketing photos. All-inclusive resort vacation planning means knowing which properties actually have the dining variety, quiet adult-only sections, and kids' programs worth using.

06Cruising rewards travelers who know which cabin category is worth the upgrade and which shore excursions are worth skipping. Michelle books both ocean lines and small-ship river routes through Europe, planned around how you want to spend port days.

07A honeymoon is one of the few trips where the small details actually get noticed — the room with the better view, the dinner reservation already made. Honeymoon planning builds those touches in from the start, with room to actually relax.

08Some travelers want a private cooking class in a Tuscan farmhouse kitchen; others want a guided hike outside town. Adventure and experiential travel planning builds the trip around what you want to do, using local guides Michelle has worked with directly.

09Wellness and retreat planning covers trips built around actually resetting — a spa-focused stay, a yoga retreat, a slower itinerary with more open time — matched to what "rest" actually means to you, not a generic spa package.

10Flights aren't usually included in trip costs, and Michelle can coordinate them through a partnered air desk for an additional fee — seat selection and connection timing planned around the rest of your itinerary.

11A good private guide changes a destination — the same ruins with someone who actually knows the history reads differently than a self-guided walk. Private guided tours are arranged directly with vetted local guides, timed around your itinerary.

12Luxury ground transportation covers the parts of a trip that are easy to overlook until they go wrong — the airport transfer waiting when you land, the driver between hillside towns, the car to a dinner reservation across town.

13Travel insurance procurement happens at the same time as your deposit, with a quote built around your specific trip. For a trip with this much planning behind it, it's worth protecting.

Common QUestionsTwo Things Clients Always Ask
Do I need to be local to work with a travel advisor?
No. Every part of the process — the consultation, the planning, the updates while you're traveling — happens by phone, video, or email. Being based in Stevens Point means Michelle understands Wisconsin travel patterns, not that clients need to live nearby.
Is it worth using an advisor instead of booking myself?
For a trip with real complexity — multiple travelers, multiple stops, or a property where the difference between rooms is significant — yes. The value isn't in finding a rate; it's in the upgrades, the relationships, and having someone to call if a resort double-books your room.
Based In WisconsinStevens Point roots, a service area that doesn't stop there.
Michelle works with clients across Wisconsin — Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Appleton, and Wausau — along with travelers across the United States who reach her by phone or video.
Central Wisconsin's travel season shapes a lot of client questions, like when to book a spring trip to Italy or how far ahead a winter escape needs planning, and that rhythm factors into the timelines Michelle recommends.
