Hi, I’m Michele Smisek, an avid traveler, a Texas teacher, and the writer behind He Works So I Travel. I am so glad you are here.

While my husband, a dedicated Texas football coach, stayed busy on the field, I started He Works So I Travel to share my travel stories, tips, and inspiration with fellow travelers looking for their next escape.
Whether you’re dreaming of a weekend getaway or a big adventure abroad, I hope my detailed planning, stories, and photography help you travel well, travel smart, and make every trip one to remember.
Welcome aboard!
