Bio

Need a Vacation, I Can Help and its a Great Day For That All Over Tan" is my motto! I am a native Georgia Girl and joined the GoAwayTravel and GoAwayNude after my retirement from 27 years of Federal service. I was always a 'travel agent wannabe' and thru the years of my former career, I fell in love with all that the Caribbean has to offer. I try to schedule a "get-away-from-it-all" vacation 3-4 times a year by visiting various clothing-optional as well as family all inclusive resorts. I hope to live near the ocean eventually and own a sailboat. I am a PADI certified diver (Cancun, Cozumel, Belize, Bahamas, Caymans, Mobay, Florida Keys, Roatan Honduras) and I try to get in 2 dives every other day during a 7-8 day Caribbean visit. I also love sailing and am a history buff, especially Naval history, and I love to find and tour historic locations. I also speak basic Spanish. I handle each vacation planning process as if it were my own vacation because I know how important that is, and I am very excited about sharing my love and experience of clothing optional travel, the Caribbean, and of diving with you by making each vacation an adventure that you will never forget every time, and one that will bring you back to me and to GoAwayTravel/GoAwayNude for years to come.

Client Comments

Michelle's expertise and professional service are beyond the vocabulary of a ‘Travel Agent’. Thanks for being there for us! - Marcel and Nancy S.

Michelle is very polite and professional. She listens to exactly what you are requesting and caters to that desire with a few small suggestions. I am a relations manager for a Fortune 500 company and I would hire her any day. - Aaron W.

Michelle is unbelievable with her communication and making sure that every one of our concerns were addressed and that all our questions were answered, always staying one step ahead of us - we didn't have to do a thing! She makes it so easy to travel! I have recommended Michelle to all my friends that are planning a trip, and we are sure to use her services again in the (hopefully near) future! She makes traveling a breeze - this was our second trip scheduled with Michelle, and I knew that once we signed up, everything was in great hands. You've got a great agent working with you all at GoAwayTravel.com - be sure to take good care of her, because she goes above and beyond for her clients! Thanks again! - Whitney P

I wanted to speak to the awesome service that we received from Michelle while booking our trip. I had the horrible task of trying to get together a large traveling party. I was constantly having to change dates, hotels, destinations etc in order to make everyone happy. Michelle was with me every step of the way to help. I always felt like I was inconveniencing her by constantly changing back and forth but she was quick to respond and reassure me that this was her job and was willing to help. Her customer service was WAY above and beyond. I manage salespeople in the software industry and I am constantly trying to teach them this kind of customer service! I would hire her in a minute and want to recognize her for her work and willingness to help. - Clayton M.

Michelle is the best! She will bend over backwards and sideways to help in any way that she can. She is always available, her emails are answered almost as soon as you hit the "send" button. She goes out of her way to answer your questions (and I asked a LOT of them) some that were probably not even vacation related, and she answered those too! This was my second trip planned with Michelle and I'm sure not the last. She makes your vacation planning a breeze. I will miss almost daily emails with Michelle. LOVE HER !!! - Chris P.

If there was a rating higher than excellent, I've would choose it!! Michelle was the best. Extremely attentive and gave the very best service. Love her!!! - Aramis and Tyron

The quality of the service given by Michelle is exemplary. all too often people will take the time to speak of negative experiences, yet rarely take the opportunity to commend good customer service. I have been in the hospitality industry since 1975, so I believe I am qualified to make such statements. I would welcome her as an employee. but, don't worry, I live in ABQ, NM! GREAT JOB, MICHELLE! - Marian B.

Michelle answered every question I had VERY promptly...sometimes within a matter of minutes. We felt very prepared and knew exactly what we were getting throughout our honeymoon vacation. Michelle did everything and more than we thought we'd get from a travel agent. I told her what we were looking for in a resort, and she found it exactly. She was fast in responding and set everything up for us. We had zero worries and we would certainly use her again for a trip like this. - Adam A.

Michelle has been there for us for the second time. We ask alot of questions and she is always helpful in finding us the information in a timely manner. She seems to be genuinely concerned about our happiness and satisfaction with our vacation plans. - Lee W.

Once again, Michelle Rivers went out of her way to answer all of questions. She found the perfect vacation for us. It's always a pleasure working with her! - Danielle and Scott

I don't usually use a travel agent for vacations, but I will definitely use Michelle again if I should ever need an agent. She was WONDERFUL. She usually answered my questions before I ever asked them, she kept me up to date with information. This could not have been a better vacation! ~ Chris P

Michelle did a great job of finding a park-n-fly for us in addition to putting together our perfect vacation. She made our trip worry free. We we aware of everything we encountered.

Michelle got us everything on time and we were well prepared for our trip thanks to her. After talking with others we certainly had one of the better deals for our vacation.

I never have to worry that I wont have what I need and I can always get hold of her immediately in most cases which is spectacular!!! - Paul C.

Our vacation was terrific. Michelle did a terrific job for us, and when we had a minor problem with transportation, all it took was an email for her to take care of the problem for us......
