ABOUT

Hi, I'm Michelle Madden

I’m an engineer by trade and a planner at heart. Long before I founded Madden Travel, I was the go-to vacation planner for friends and family—even when I wasn’t traveling with them! I like to think of a trip as a puzzle, and I love figuring out how to fit all the pieces together in the most seamless, organized, and stress-free way … so you can maximize your precious travel time together.

But the biggest reason I started Madden Travel? It’s because I believe we are our best selves on vacation.

On vacation we are more relaxed, more connected, and more open to adventure. I see it in my own son every time we travel! He steps out of his shell, tries new things, and soaks up the world around him in a way that just doesn’t happen in the day-to-day routine. Whether he’s discovering fossils on a glacier hike or meeting his favorite characters at a theme park, those moments are what make travel so special.

Vacations full of wonder

I want to create moments just like that for my clients. I specialize in creating travel experiences for busy parents who are juggling work, kids, and everyday life. I know exactly what it’s like to get stuck in that  day-to-day routine, which is why I plan personalized vacations designed to free up your time—and your mental space—so you can rediscover that wonder again, and enjoy time with the people who matter most.

Whether you’re traveling with the kids, enjoying a couples’ escape, or bringing your own friends along, let me plan a custom trip that pulls you out of your same-old routine and lights you up again.
