Mini bio
How it started.
Family trips to Argentina and Spain helped spark Michelle’s interest in travel. Her mother had been the first female pilot in her Argentine province. At about 16, Michelle studied airline loyalty programs and used an Argentina trip to earn status, a voucher and an upgrade. She recounts those beginnings in her introduction to LAX to Luxury.
Finding her audience.
Michelle launched LAX to Luxury on TikTok in December 2019, focusing on luxury flights, hotels and experiences. By 2022, TikTok reported that she had passed one million followers. She also helped other Latinx creators with analytics and rate negotiations, and spoke about making room for Latinas in flight vlogging.
Making travel her work.
After 13 years in corporate roles, including finance and global sales strategy and operations for a beauty brand, she left in late 2022 to create full time. In her 2026 Window Seat interview, she described flight vlogs as her signature recurring series. Her work also includes hotel coverage, destination guides and advice on getting value from travel.
Sharing what she learns.
Alongside her videos, Michelle co-authored TikTok for Travel Brands with Carmen Sognonvi in 2020. She launched her own blog in January 2021, giving her travel tips and trip reports a longer format.
