Michelle Bates
Luxury Travel Advisor
Michelle’s passion for travel started at the early age of 4, as her parents took her to meet family in England and Corsica. Since then, Michelle has travelled to many countries in Asia, Europe and the US, with a list that keeps growing. Having a keen sense of adventure, Michelle has enjoyed different styles of travelling, from backpacking to 5-star luxury and plenty in between. With experience travelling individually, as a couple, and a family, the opportunity to share and build these experiences for clients is an absolute joy. Michelle is also very eager to share the love and passion she has for Australia and all that it has to offer.
Michelle grew up in Adelaide, Australia and graduated as an Accountant working in the Banking, Public and Not-for-profit sectors, before having the opportunity to travel and work in the UK. There she met her husband and had 3 children. An offer to work in New York brought the family to Scarsdale, where her children have grown up.
She looks forward to building the experiences and memories for her clients, just like the ones she treasures with her family.

What People are Saying
Working with Michelle was a pleasure! She presented us with lovely options for our vacation and was attentive to every detail. For example, she took painstaking care to find restaurants that would accommodate certain food allergies. That level of attention and service is so rare. We look forward to working with Michelle on many other travels!
Michelle was amazing from the beginning to the end! She was even in contact with us when we were away to notify us of changes to our schedule!
