About Michelle Eyrich

I’m a strategic leader with 20+ years of corporate experience, currently driving transformative and innovative procurement work at EY—while also building No Place Like Roam, a travel blog empowering women (especially mothers) to rediscover their adventurous spirit through immersive, meaningful travel.At the intersection of both roles lies my strengths: a deep understanding of how to leverage analytics for smart, audience-first decisions, how to negotiate effectively across sectors, and how to communicate with clarity and impact in any setting—from boardrooms to international travel panels.My superpower? Bridging the analytical with the experiential. I know what brands, tourism boards, and stakeholders need—because I’ve sat on both sides. By day, I lead business strategy. By night (and often in transit), I build a storytelling-forward brand that reaches engaged, experience-driven audiences.I’ve traveled to 80+ countries and all 7 continents. My work spans experiential tourism, transformational storytelling, and building confident, curious communities of women over 35 who are looking to reconnect with their adventurous side.Whether I’m managing multi-million-dollar projects, bringing my voice to freelance travel writing, crafting brand partnerships, or speaking on stages, I bring empathy, insight, professionalism, relatability, and execution—powered by data, driven by purpose, and delivered with a strong voice.Let’s connect if you\'re looking for strategy with soul—or storytelling with substance.
