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.
