After ten years in the industry, coming to work at Travel Associates no longer feels like a job for Michelle James.
“Being able to make travel dreams come true is a very rewarding business to be in! I love what I do and I love the lifelong friendships I have developed with some of my clients and work colleagues.”
Michelle was recently able to fulfil a lifelong dream for a repeat client, who always wanted to travel to Antarctica. Her client set off on a 15-day expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula, which was everything he hoped for and more.
“The feedback was just amazing. I love being able to create something off the beaten track, especially for those who have travelled a lot already.”
Having travelled extensively, Michelle knows what it takes to wow a seasoned globe trotter. Although she’s explored the South Pacific, Asia, North America and Europe, it was a recent trip to Alice Springs that blew her away.
“I climbed the Olgas, drove from Alice Springs to Uluru, experienced a Sound of Silence dinner and ended the trip with a helicopter ride over the rock. It was a truly amazing adventure, and this is coming from someone who has wandered the world quite a few times.”
Michelle recently travelled to Thailand with her husband and two daughters, and took the time to kick back and soak up all that their resort had to offer.
“Some holidays can be so busy, but this time we took advantage of the amazing breakfast, kids club, and gorgeous pool. It was nice being able to wander out into the bustling nightlife for a delicious meal without worrying about an itinerary. I really enjoy putting together family holidays, and I know these laid-back experiences can be just as important as ticking off a list of must-dos. It’s a balance I enjoy personalising for each and every client.”
Michelle loves the challenge of creating something unique to suit each client’s individual desires, and the fact that she can use her own wealth of experience to help people plan their trips is something she considers a perk of the job.
