Hi, I’m Michelle — and I Love Helping People Travel Well

I believe travel should feel easy, joyful, and tailored to who you are. Every journey I plan is designed with care, warmth, and a genuine desire to make your experience exceptional.
​​​​
To me, luxury travel means thoughtful touches, beautifully chosen accommodations, and a sense of calm knowing everything has been handled for you. When we work together, you’re not just booking a trip — you’re gaining someone who has your back.
​
As a travel fanatic who has lived across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, I founded Escapes by Escala in 2014 with a simple belief: the right trip doesn’t just take you somewhere new — it changes how you see the world.
​​
We obsess over the details most people never notice, so you don’t have to. We listen to your wishes, ask the right questions, and then tap years of trusted relationships with the world’s finest hotels, guides, and local experts to create journeys that feel unmistakably yours — whether that’s a private villa week in Tuscany, a milestone celebration in Patagonia, or a once-in-a-lifetime safari under the African stars.
​
As a Virtuoso-affiliated advisor, I can open doors to get you exclusive upgrades, insider experiences, and little touches that turn great trips into unforgettable ones.​
​
Because at Escapes by Escala, luxury isn’t defined by distance or grandeur — it’s found in how personally each experience is crafted. ​
