Michelle's World
The passions that shape how she designs your journey.
Taste Everything
She once ate termites that tasted like mint—proof that the best travel memories come from saying yes to the unexpected.
Teleport Anywhere
If she could have any superpower, it would be teleportation—a fitting dream for someone who lives to explore the world.
Mountain Wanderer
When she's not crafting itineraries, Michelle is out exploring Vermont's peaks, where her love of the outdoors runs as deep as the mountains themselves.
The Art of Building Your Perfect Trip
Michelle's role at Yampu Tours is to turn wanderlust into reality. As a tour designer, she listens to what moves you—whether it's the call of ancient ruins, the rhythm of a new culture, or simply the chance to rest in a place that feels like home. Her own travels, from a transformative coast-to-coast journey through Costa Rica to dreams of Egypt, Bali, and Turkey, inform every itinerary she builds. She knows that the best trips happen when you stay open to surprise, and that's exactly what she brings to her work: a designer's eye for detail paired with a traveler's instinct for what makes a moment unforgettable.
