About Inspired Travel Adventures
Travel planning should feel personal.
A thoughtfully planned trip is about more than choosing a destination and booking a hotel. It begins with understanding how you want to travel, what matters most to you and the kind of experience you want to have.
From there, each part of the journey can be chosen with your interests, comfort and preferred pace in mind.
Meet Michelle Gaudet, CTC
I’m Michelle, the owner and travel advisor behind Inspired Travel Adventures, a TICO-registered travel agency in Ontario.
As a Certified Travel Counsellor and ACTA member, I help travellers who value quality, comfort and a personal level of service create trips without the overwhelm of sorting through endless options or managing every detail themselves.
My role is to listen carefully, ask the right questions and understand your interests, travel style and preferred pace. From well-located hotels and carefully chosen experiences to comfortable connections and practical details, every recommendation is made with your entire journey in mind.

Why the details matter
Years of travelling in different ways have taught me that the best trips are rarely the ones with the most stops or the fullest schedules.
Where you stay, how long you spend in each place and how easily the journey flows can change the entire experience. A beautiful hotel in the wrong neighbourhood or one destination too many can leave a trip feeling rushed.
I look at the journey as a whole, balancing the places you want to experience with enough time and flexibility to enjoy them. The result is a trip that feels comfortable, cohesive and suited to the way you want to travel.
Travel planned around you
Your itinerary begins with how you want to travel, not with a list of available hotels and tours.
I take the time to understand your preferred pace, the experiences that interest you, your comfort level and how much structure or free time feels right. That may mean fewer destinations, longer stays, a carefully located hotel, a private experience or room to explore independently.
From there, I bring the accommodations, transportation and experiences together into one cohesive journey that feels comfortable from beginning to end.
Personal service from start to finish
When you work with Inspired Travel Adventures, you work directly with me.
I take the time to understand what matters to you, what you would prefer to avoid and how you want your trip to feel. I then organize the details into one clear, well-planned itinerary, keeping the full journey in mind.
You will also have support before departure and while you are travelling, so you are not left searching for answers when questions arise or plans need to change.
Experience you can rely on
My experience includes designing custom itineraries, hosting small-group adventures, speaking at travel industry events and travelling extensively to strengthen my destination knowledge and industry relationships.
My work has also been recognized through programs such as G Adventures Change Makers and by Travel Courier for my support of first responders.
That experience helps me evaluate options carefully, anticipate important details and consider how every part of the journey will work together, so you can feel confident in the trip you are booking.
A little more about me
I’m based in Ridgeway, in Ontario’s Niagara Region, with my husband, our two children, and our much-loved pets.
Travel has been part of my life for many years, both personally and professionally. In 2016, our family spent four months backpacking through Peru and Bolivia, an experience that played an important role in my decision to create Inspired Travel Adventures.
Since then, I have travelled widely and experienced many different styles of travel, from independent road trips and longer stays to cruises and hosted small-group adventures. I have returned to some destinations many times, explored well beyond the main attractions, and spent time getting to know the places I recommend to my clients.
That firsthand experience continues to influence how I plan, what I look for, and the details I believe can turn a good trip into a memorable one.
