Michelle is the founder of TravelHerStory.com, a budget-friendly travel blog born from a solo trip in 2013. After stepping away and returning to blogging in 2024, she quickly built it into a full-time income, consistently earning thousands of dollars a month and funding a 4.5-month, 18-country solo trek across Europe.

A large part of her income comes from affiliate platforms, particularly Stay22, where she's generated nearly $5,000 in commissions across 927 bookings. She now shares the exact strategies, tools, and shortcuts that helped her turn a hobby blog into a career so other travel bloggers can do the same.
