Agent specializing in wine, golf & couples travel

I specialize in custom couples travel, with a focus on Wine travel and Golf travel. Whether your vision is a leisure trip to Europe's wine destinations, or a romantic trip for two, or an all inclusive vacation in Mexico or the Caribbean. Maybe you prefer an amazing River Cruise or life changing African Safari. Maybe you want to golf at St Andrews, the home of golf. I love working with those with combined interests. Do a trip where some go golfing and others go wine tasting. For Europe, I particularly love Paris and Italy. For All inclusive, I love Jamaica and Riviera Maya area in Mexico. But ultimately, it is about YOUR bucket list trip. I listen to you and your story behind the trip you want and what will make it special for you.

Fulfilling My Dad's Bucket List trip to Alaska
I was so thrilled to be able to take my Dad to Alaska - the last state for him to visit - he has now been to all 50 states. We flew into Anchorage in Sept to start our driving adventure. The next day we drove along AK Route 1, The Seward Highway, definitely one of the most beautiful drives in the country. We took a short train ride from Portage ...

A week in Tuscany
When our son graduated form high school, we did a family trip to Italy. One week was spent staying in a villa in Tuscany. Such an amazing week. Our villa was hundreds of years old. There was a trough running through the bottom floor. Not 100% sure what is was used for - we suspected it was because animals were kept on that level initially and th...

Girl Scouts in Wales
I was in Wales this past summer with a group of Girl Scouts and it was so amazing. I absolutely fell in love with Wales. The people were incredibly open and friendly. Everywhere we went, the locals would engage you in conversation and they loved hearing about this trip the girls were on and all the great things we were doing. We saw castles, vis...

    Family trip to Italy was fantastic!
    Reviewed By A Grateful Family of Five - Snohomish, Washington | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
    We had a fabulous spring break vacation in Italy with our three sons. Michelle was solid perfection in arranging the details including complicated flight schedules for the five of us - - not originating from the same airport or returning home to the same airport. Michelle's scheduling was fantastic, her communications with us was top-notch, and the price point was excellent. She has our enthusiastic recommendation!

    "Thank you Beth! It was fun to see your pictures from your trip. Looking forward to our own Italy vacation!"

    Last minute Alaska trip
    Michelle, at Travel There and Back, helped us plan a last minute cruise to Alaska. She was great as she handled all the big and little details with ease. We had started booking it online but decided to ask Michelle for help to make sure everything went smoothly - and she made sure it did! She gave us helpful suggestions to make the trip better and explained all our options. The trip was wonderful and it was very reassuring that if we wanted to change an excursion or if something went wrong on the trip, we could reach out to Michelle and she would help us. We highly recommend Travel There and Back for your vacation planning, Thank you Michelle for helping to make this vacation a very special one,

    Fun in Jamaica
    Michelle planned our trip to Jamaica last year and without her help it would not have been as great as it turned out. She listened to what we both wanted and offered us trips that met what we wanted in a Vacation. My husband and I have separate ideas of what is relaxing and fun and she was able to plan a trip that met both of our ideas. Michelle also explained all of the traditions of the area we were going to so we were prepared. She also ensured all details were all taken care of such as transportation to and from the airport and our side tours we wanted to take. She also made sure we were prepared with everything we needed at the airport so going through customs was very easy with no delays. She also took the time to find the best offer to keep the trip within our budget without sacrificing the things we wanted to do.
