Travel is most meaningful when it connects you to a place, its culture, its stories, the scenes that made you want to go in the first place. That's the standard at Jet Setting with Me, whether that means following a filming location through the streets of Paris or stepping into the London that exists between the pages and the screen. No generic itineraries. No trips built from a template.
Michele Schwartz has been in hospitality longer than most travel advisors have been traveling. She started as a Walt Disney World cast member, built and sold a content business that held Page 1 on Google, and has spent the last several years designing travel rooted in real experience. She holds CTA and VTA credentials, is affiliated with Virtuoso travel and knows the difference between a trip that looks good on paper and one that actually delivers.
Every recommendation comes from having actually been there. Michele travels the destinations, sails the ships, and walks the locations her clients ask about. That's the standard — and it's what separates a trip that's booked from one that's remembered. The work is in the details. The experience is yours.
As a Virtuoso-affiliated luxury travel advisor, every detail is confirmed and managed before departure and throughout the trip. You arrive knowing everything is in order. You leave thinking only about when you're going back.
Jet Setting with Me is a luxury travel design agency specializing in set-jetting itineraries built from scratch. Every recommendation comes from firsthand experience, not a search engine.
Set-jetting is the specialty. These trips are designed for travelers who want to stand inside the story — Paris through Emily's eyes, Scotland through Outlander's lens, London through Bridgerton's world.
Every set-jetting group trip and custom luxury itinerary starts with a real conversation about how you travel and what would make the experience worth talking about for years.
What's Included:
You're sitting at a cafe in Paris where Emily ordered her first croissant, or standing on the Scottish Highlands where Jamie Fraser rode across the screen. That's set-jetting travel design, and that's what Jet Setting with Me does.
That's the Jet Setting with Me difference, and that's where the real work begins.
The details are handled. The experience is yours.

"We had the most incredible Disney Cruise experience, all thanks to Michele. From the moment we reached out, she made the planning process completely stress-free and exciting. Her expertise in all things Disney Cruises was evident, and she helped us choose the perfect itinerary, stateroom, and excursions tailored to our needs.
Thanks to her careful planning and personal touch, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the magic of Disney at sea. Michele handled everything—from booking our dining rotations and onboard activities to giving us insider tips on character meet-and-greets and Port Adventures. If you’re thinking about a Disney Cruise, do yourself a favor and book with Michele. She truly goes above and beyond."
"I'm a travel princess, and do not have time for research or attention to detail when it comes to travel that I work so hard to afford and earn. Michele takes care of it all. I can tell her a proposed location or time of the year, and she takes it from there.
While I still work full-time, she books a call with me to talk all kinds of options, from luxury to locals. Effective and efficient. I have traveled with her enough now, that she truly knows our preferences."
"She is fun, exciting, detail oriented, and passionate.
Always coming up with interesting ideas to work within the scope of the project and will give the best insight to get the most out of the desired results."
"Thank you for being our navigator and for preparing me for this big logistical undertaking.
I felt so much more relaxed having the daily plan from you, it helped us tremendously. Thank you so much again!"
"There wasn’t one question she didn’t know the answer to and she made the planning process so easy! I knew NOTHING about going to Disney and felt overwhelmed by the idea of planning the trip. She asked me a few questions about preferences and then planned everything accordingly. She also requested our tour guides for our VIP tours and they were unbelievable.
People have been telling me the tour guides she got us are famous at Disney and we would have never had that experience without her connections. I can’t stress enough how important it is to use this service. It’s incredibly fair priced and she is there for you every step of the way! Bonus, she surprised us AT Disney in the park, on her birthday!!!"
