## About

Hi ! I’m Michelle Yeager, a Fora travel advisor, procurement manager, and photographer who helps adventure seekers plan trips that become the stories they tell for years.

From solo travel in Europe, to climbing an erupting volcano in Iceland, to swimming with sharks and orca in Mexico, my firsthand experiences shape how I plan. My Whole Trip Method brings together your interests, geography, pacing, and practical details, not just a list of attractions.

I approach travel like I approach procurement: the lowest price isn’t always the best value. Location, timing, and how everything fits together matter.

My passions include ocean and wildlife adventures, swimming with sharks and whales, conservation, Iceland, Italy, and the Galápagos. My goal is simple: a trip built around you, with enough room to actually enjoy it. If you'd like an apex predator encounter, I can help with that too :)
