A little about me…
Nature is my happy place. My ideal vacation has always revolved around a national park with stunning scenery, but after becoming a Mom, I realized not every outdoor adventure requires an epic hike. In fact, many of the best sights of our amazing national parks are scenic drives and look-out points.
Whether you want to scale a mountain or relax in a hot spring with a gorgeous view, I can customize the right itinerary for you so you can escape without the work.

Every trip planning package includes
Expert, personalized itinerary
Pick the right destinations based on the interests of everyone in your group, time of year, activity options, and more. We’ll have a phone or video call so I can build the right trip for you with the right park and surrounding areas (state parks, wine regions, nearby cities and more).
Handpicked tours & activities
Skip the guesswork and endless googling and scrolling. I’ll recommend the best tour operators and activities that fit your style. From a gentle float down the river to kayaking, horseback riding, and helicopter rides, there’s so much more to our national parks than hiking.
All the logistics, none of the research
Stop spending hours reading reviews. From rustic lodges to luxury glamping, I’ll research and recommend accommodations, restaurants, transportation, hidden gems, and must-see attractions so you can soak up the scenery without sweating the details.
your trip, your way
Travel agents vs. travel planners
Unlike traditional travel agents, I don’t sell pre-packaged tours or have preferred tour operators. You get the freedom to book what you want without the research, guesswork, and stress of planning. Think of it as independent travel with a custom-made roadmap, designed just for you.
Why use a travel planner?
- No hidden commissions
- No preselected tours or packages
- Truly custom itineraries
- Flexible, choose-your-own-adventure options
A better way to vacation
Custom adventures, made simple and unforgettable. I’ll figure out all the details with personalized communication, so you can stay in the moment and enjoy your trip.
an amazing trip without the research
Can’t ChatGPT plan my vacation?
Sure, AI can give you a great starting point, but are you really going to blindly trust it’s itinerary? You are still going to spend hours reading free blogs, hotel reviews, and generic itineraries that may or may not match your interests. I make sure every detail is designed around your style, pace, and priorities, so you can focus on the vacation, not the research.
What our travelers say
“I had a lifelong dream to trek the Grand Canyon, however, the logistics and first blush costs were always overwhelming. Enter Michelle to the rescue!
She put together an itinerary which way surpassed my expectations. From scenic hikes in Sedona to a side trip to Antelope Canyon, I got to marvel at many sights.”
“We have utilized Michelle’s knowledge and relentless research on two trips and both have been phenomenal. I just can’t say enough about how amazing it’s been to simply pack a bag and show up at the airport and have almost everything else lined out on an itinerary. I work full-time, so it’s been a priceless way to use my vacations. Try her – you won’t regret it!”
“She makes vacations seem magical. She’s really good at planning for everyone in a group when she knows what you like to do and is good at finding cool things to do other than hiking.”
