Sharing an adventure in S. Africa
Hi there! My name is Michelle Wicks Cypher, with Travel There and Back, and I am a travel advisor with 8 years of experience. I have always been passionate about travel and the transformative power it has on people's lives. That's why I decided to become a travel advisor - so I could help others experience the joy of travel and create unforgettable memories.
I specialize in European independent travel, which I believe is the best way to experience the rich history, culture, and beauty of Europe. Whether you're interested in exploring the stunning countryside of Tuscany, sipping wine in the rolling hills of Burgundy, or wandering the charming streets of Paris, I can help you plan the perfect trip.
In addition to independent travel, I also specialize in private group tours, river cruises and all-inclusive resorts. These types of travel are perfect for food and wine enthusiasts looking to indulge in local cuisine, golfers seeking the perfect course, couples seeking a romantic getaway, or anyone looking to relax and unwind in a beautiful setting.
My expertise lies in Europe, Italy, Scotland and Ireland, and I have extensive knowledge of the best destinations, activities, and accommodations in these regions. Whether you're interested in exploring the historic cities of Italy, hiking the stunning Scottish Highlands, or soaking up the sun on the beaches of the French Riviera, I can help you plan an unforgettable trip.
As a certified leisure travel specialist, I am committed to providing my clients with the highest level of service and expertise. I work closely with each client to understand their unique interests and dreams, and I use my extensive knowledge and experience to create customized itineraries that exceed their expectations.
I specialize in working with clients interested in wine country vacations, food and wine, golf, and romance. These types of trips require special attention to detail and a deep understanding of the local culture, and I take great pride in helping my clients create unforgettable experiences that they will cherish for a lifetime.
So, if you're looking for a travel advisor who is passionate about travel, dedicated to providing exceptional service, and committed to creating unforgettable experiences, look no further than Michelle Wicks Cypher, with Travel There and Back. I can't wait to help you plan your next adventure!
Specialized Anniversary Trips
I love working with couples for honeymoon and anniversary trips. Romance travel can mean different things to different people and I love asking questions and hearing each couples story. From planning a bucketlist trip to the Maldives Islands for a honeymoon to a foodie focused anniversary trip for a chef and her husband. My personal anniversary trips have varied from 2 weeks in Europe seeing as much as we could in Paris and in Austria, to a week being pampered by butlers at a Sandals resort in Jamaica. For me, romance travel is finding what makes the trip special for that couple in that moment.

An amazing adventure!
Our trip was amazing and without incident. She stepped back when I said we could make some parts of our trip plans. She then reviewed the plans I had made to make sure I didn't overlook anything.
Part of the fun of working with Michelle is that she is always excited to share and learn about any place in the world.
