About Michelle
Hello, I'm Michelle
Travel has been a passion of mine since I first worked a summer season in Crete in 1992 followed by a winter at a hotel in Serre Chevalier in my early twenties.
Since then my travels have taken me to New York for a few years and then I was fortunate enough to live in Luxembourg, Japan and Geneva and I was able to use these locations as hubs to explore Asia, Australasia and Europe.
Since coming home, my family has continued to travel, adding Africa and South America to my first hand experience. Wherever I go, I like to get to know the local culture by taking food tours, bike tours and other local guided excursions.
I have now visited over 55 countries and feel blessed that my part time passion has now become my full time occupation.
Whether you are looking for pure total R&R in the Maldives or Mozambique, a full on active tour of New Zealand or Argentina or a combination of Angkor Wat and an island in the South China Sea, I will use all of my passion and experience to create the right itinerary for you.
I pride myself on attention to detail, not just in planning your trip but also in final prep and tracking your trip while you are away. You have the comfort of knowing help is only a text or phone call away.

What My Clients Say
Have just come back from the most amazing trip to Mozambique , South Africa and Zimbabwe ( Victoria falls) arranged expertly by Michelle Vanlint and Jo Kindley . We had never been to this part of the world and they put together a perfect itinerary and outstanding accommodation that showed they understood our needs and likes spot on . We were initially routed via Dubai which they helped us reroute , meaning we had no stress. Booking with them was also very price efficient - I compared prices with hotels and could not have done it for less myself . We have used Michelle and Jo before and they always come up trumps 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Thank you
Brett
Michelle and Jo took onboard our requirements for a South Africa Garden Route adventure and they certainly delivered a great holiday.
What a difference to let someone with the knowledge and experience arrange everything for you!
Flights, transfers, car hire, excursions and accommodation. Michelle and Jo saved us many, many hours of research and bookings. Communication with them was fantastic throughout and the pair of them were very attentive and clearly wanted us to have a great time. Which we definitely did.
Thank-you Michelle and Jo. No hesitation to use you again. Anna and Gary x

I came to Michelle & Jo with a request to celebrate a special birthday/Wedding anniversary in Morocco/somewhere we had never visited before. The brief-make it special. Michelle & Jo REALLY delivered a bespoke curated adventure for us. Combining an authentic experience of Marrakesh with refined luxury. The hotels, the fabulous upgrade, the birthday touches on arrival, every small detail was thought through. The trip bridged a sensory city adventure to glamping in the desert with private dining under the stars to a backdrop of the Atlas Mountains. Their care and attention to our brief exceeded all expectations. The peace of mind of having an attentive team take your brief and deliver to it exactly with nothing for us to do but turn up at their airport was incredible. We are already planning our next escape and will be going direct to Michelle and Jo for every holiday from now on.

Booked via Michelle and Jo for a week in Morocco, they organised everything for us and I think it is perhaps more important these days to book through agents that you trust just in case something goes wrong because I know they would be there for us.
Not the first time we have used Michelle and Jo and it won’t be the last for that peace of mind.
Thanks again to both of you x x

A big thank you to Michelle and Jo for organising at short notice a few days in Tenerife. You even went above and beyond and booked all my restaurants at my preferred time of eating.
Flights, transfers and check in at hotel went smoothly both going and flying back.
These ladies are consummate professionals and are always contactable if issues were to arose but none did!!
I was so impressed with my first experience dealing with these ladies and now as a result, Michelle and Jo are helping me plan a family safari in October which is being tailored to our preferences and needs. I have every confidence that this is going to be a truly memorable trip!
Would highly recommend these very experienced and knowledgeable ladies to take away the stress of planning individual, bespoke trips of a lifetime.
