Hi Michele,

I hope you had an amazing summer. 

I’ve been looking forward to sharing some news with you... Now that the kids have officially “left the nest” I’ve been thinking about my next chapter and after careful consideration, and a ton of hard work, it begins now!

You may know my passion for travel runs deep. Amazing trips around the world with family and friends has given me remarkable experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. I’ve shared those with many of you, and now - I’m going to help you create them. 

I’ve started Gold Travel Co in partnership with Brownell Travel. If you don’t know Brownell, it’s without doubt the best partner I could ask for as I start this new venture - the brand is best in class and incredibly selective about the Advisors they bring on. There are only six Advisors added to the team every year. I’m truly honored to be one of them. 

For over 100 years Brownell has cultivated hotel relationships and exclusive on-the-ground partnerships that offer unmatched access and preferred partner perks. We work with the world’s most discerning travelers. Our custom itineraries are possible only through our connections, preferred status with, well…. everyone, and a little black book of locals all over the globe. As a member of the team I now have access to it all. That means you have access to it all. 

Over the years, I'm often asked for trip advice. I’ve loved sharing the where’s, why’s and how’s as much as I have the destinations. The opportunity to design your next experience is something I genuinely look forward to. It will give me tremendous joy to curate itineraries that leave you with the “best day ever” over and over again.

Starting a business is always scary. It's a leap of faith. It’s been a month since my “soft launch” and I'm beyond grateful for the support I've received so far.

With this official kick off I do have an ask....

When you and your friends are talking travel and "where to next..." please share me as a resource. I would be beyond grateful if you forward this email to five friends and share the link to my website or my phone number with friends and family who love to travel.

Here’s to your next great trip! Feel free to reach out for help with your upcoming travel. It's not too early to start planning summer '24 (there's lots still available but some incredible properties are already sold out) and there is also some availability for X-mas season.

Excited to design your next adventure,

Michele
