Hello fellow world travelers. My name is Mike Fletcher and I've been traveling the world since I was 16. I have always had a great passion for sharing that world with others. In my 20's and 30's, I loved to travel with friends and co-workers, introducing them to Paris, the city I'd fallen in love with, guiding them through the historic streets and passages, telling stories and bringing history to life. During my time in the Navy, and later as a Flight Attendant for Pan American World Airways, I had the opportunity to travel extensively through both Italy and France, developing a passion for their food and culture that has bound me to them for over 35 years. I worked for 4 years as a travel agent, and spent another year with a small charter airline before I honed in on food service in the late 90's. In 2007 I merged my love of travel with my professional experience in food and wine, and escorted my first group of 12 people to Italy. Since then, I have escorted over 20 trips to Italy and France, traveling with over 140 clients. I am also building a travel club that picks one new destination a year to plan an extraordinary bucket-list trip to a new part of the world. In addition to escorting tours, I also operate a full service travel agency as a member of the KHM Travel Group, which allows me to provide an array of services and travel options all over the world for independent travelers.
