About Me
Hi, I’m Michelle, the travel planner behind Never Home Travel.
I’m based in sunny California, married to my best friend and a proud mom of two adventurous girls who are already collecting passport stamps of their own.
I’ve traveled to over 49 countries (and counting), experiencing everything from upscale cruises and boutique European stays to family-friendly resorts and bucket-list destinations.
What started as a love for planning trips, cruises, and getaways turned into a career helping others travel with confidence, ease, and a little extra magic.
I plan everything from luxury ocean and river cruises to family vacations, milestone trips, and “we just need a break” getaways. Whether you’re dreaming of something amazing or simply want a smooth, stress-free trip that works for the whole family, I handle the details so you don’t have to.
I believe great travel doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to be done right. From choosing the best options to navigating non-refundable bookings and special requests, I take care of the planning, details, and logistics so you can focus on making memories (and counting down to departure)!
If you are interested in me helping you plan your next fabulous trip, please contact me here.
To provide you with the highest standard of service, I am certified in the following:
Testimonials
I used to never understand why people used travel agents in this day and age when it's so easy to research everything yourself, until Michelle started helping me with travel planning. She's been helping me for years. Always knows what to book, what to avoid, and somehow finds better options than I do after spending hours going down the rabbit hole.
Our most recent trip, she pulled everything together last minute, booked dining reservations and relieved so much of my stress I had for falling behind on coordinating a family trip.
I can't recommend Michelle enough!

Michelle is nothing short of amazing! Planning our family trip to Turks and Caicos was so easy from beginning to end. She truly listened to what our family wanted and somehow turned our ideas into a vacation that was perfectly suited to us. Every detail was handled with care from airport pick up to our half trip car rental which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the experience together. The absolute highlight was the full-day sailing tour she arranged for us. Cruising across those turquoise waters, witnessing the pure beauty all around us was a true dream come true. As a bonus, we got to swim with dolphins in the wild! We’re already brainstorming the next trip we’ll plan with her.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience working with Michelle at Never Home Travel to plan two very special trips for our family. Michelle has helped us organize a summer trip to France and England, and she is also currently planning a Mediterranean cruise, for us, out of Rome next summer. Even though we haven’t taken the trips yet, the planning process has been seemless. Michelle has taken the time to find the best pricing and has been incredibly responsive, thoughtful with recommendations, and patient with all of our questions and changes. What really stands out is how well Michelle listens and tailors each itinerary to fit our family’s needs and travel style. We feel confident and excited knowing everything is in such capable hands. We can’t wait for these trips and are so grateful for all the work Michelle’s done to make them come together so beautifully!

Working with Michelle has made my travel planning so much easier and more enjoyable. She is incredibly responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely committed to finding the best options available. She consistently located highly rated hotels at competitive prices and always offered multiple excellent choices for each destination. What truly sets her apart is her willingness to go the extra mile. She provides helpful travel tips, thoughtful recommendations, and practical advice that take the stress out of planning. Thanks to her support, I was able to feel confident, relaxed, and fully present during my trips. I’m so grateful for her expertise and would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning travel.
