About Michelle

Relax... I've got the planning covered.

Hi!! I'm Michelle, the owner and travel advisor behind Simply Escape Co!

​

Travel has always been my passion. Long before I became a travel advisor, I was the go-to vacation planner for my family and friends. From weekend getaways to bucket-list adventures, I've planned many vacations, always loving the research, organization, and excitement that comes with creating unforgettable experiences.

​

As a wife and mom of four, I understand how valuable your vacation time is. Every trip should be stress-free, memorable, and tailored to the people you're traveling with. Whether you're planning a relaxing beach escape, a European adventure, a magical Disney vacation, an unforgettable cruise, or a multi-generational family reunion, I'll take care of every detail so you can simply enjoy the journey.

​

In addition to leisure travel, I also help coordinate group and corporate travel, making it easy to organize conferences, meetings, destination events, and group vacations.

​

As a full-time third-grade teacher in Southern California, organization, communication, and attention to detail are at the heart of everything I do. I bring those same qualities to every itinerary I create, along with access to trusted travel partners, exclusive promotions, and insider knowledge to help you get the most value from your vacation.

​

My mission is simple: to make planning your trip just as enjoyable as taking it.

I can't wait to help you plan your next adventure!

CLIENT REVIEWS

ROB

Michelle did a great job planning a guys trip to Seattle where we went to watch our Chargers play the Seahawks. She found the perfect hotel with 2 queens in each room, which was a challenge to find in the city. It was in a great area, we walked everywhere, even to the stadium. She made sure we had all of our flight info and provided a step by step itinerary for the whole trip. We had a small issue at the hotel the first night (no fault of hers) and she got right on the phone with them and handled it immediately, even getting us an upgrade and partial refund. Very unexpected and we also got gifts from her before our trip. Thanks Michelle!

VERONICA

We had to go to Orlando for a volleyball tournament and Michelle took care of all of our hotel, flight and transportation for the trip! Then after we decided to extend the trip and visit some parks, she made it happen and got us into an amazing Universal hotel and took care of our park tickets for Disney and Universal. We had a few last minute requests and she handled it all so well and so fast! Thank you for everything.

SYLVIA

I cannot recommend our Michelle, out travel advisor highly enough! She has planned multiple vacations for our family, and every trip has been seamless, stress-free, and full of unforgettable experiences. From finding the perfect accommodations to arranging exciting excursions and activities, every detail was thoughtfully handled. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly passionate about creating amazing travel experiences, I highly recommend working with her! I’m already looking forward to having her plan our next adventure!

MELISSA

Michelle has been planning our annual Cabo family vacation for the last 8 years and each year she surprises us with something new! Whether it is a fun new restaurant she found, perks for us to use at our hotel, a fun little gift or surprise and recommendations on new and fun things to do. She is so easy to work with and extremely responsive. One year we had an issue with one of the excursions and she handled it all for us, it is so nice to not have to worry about dealing with anyone but her! Thank you Michelle, looking forward to many more trips!
