Bio:

A career turn from Fine Arts to Travel and Tourism in 1989 led me into my current path. I've enjoyed incorporating the things I love most into my profession: family, friends, volunteering with Calgary Stampede, and the excitement of that first trip somewhere new. Combining these elements has allowed me to work with numerous performance youth groups and customized international itineraries.

Having firsthand experience with groups and their special needs, or individuals and their unusual requirements is what gets me through each exciting day. People no longer take trips to get somewhere, but go on a holidays to make memories. That is the part of my job I love most; knowing that I am part of the journey that weaves people's lives together, "Remember when?" and "We had the best time!"

Warm sand, ocean breezes, smiling faces, being awed by nature, the quiet of the sunrise or the speed of a sunset, history that you can touch, moments that last a lifetime and your worries melting away. Images like this are what being with family and loved ones on vacations are about.

Testimonials:

"Paris so far has been amazing. The hotel is incredible and just up our alley - quiet and has all the amenities. Thanks for the links. Tomorrow Versailles which we are looking forward to. Thank you for putting this together for us - we are really enjoying things!"
- JJR

"Cindy and I would like to thank you for your work in organizing a fabulous trip for us to Oaxaca and Mexico City. We had a super fun time. Your suggestion to spend a few days in Mexico City before we returned home was brilliant.

The hotels that you arranged were excellent, and the Viator trips all were very good with good to excellent guides. The Casa de la Luz was an excellent choice as it was near the presidential square and located downtown. One must stay downtown to experience the true Mexico City!"
- Cindy and Dan.


"Thanks Michelle. Just have to tell you the conference was a hit. The Banff Airporter was amazing. So great to have had you organize that and the attendees loved all the suggestions for things to do. I'm a bit pooped , just got home but have to thank you for your kindness and expertise through this whole thing. Your calm voice earlier this week was a real gift."

"Hi Michelle. Just wanted to let you know about the fabulous One & Only Palmilla resort. We think it is better than Hawaii. The quality of the service and the food has been exceptional.
