About Me

Jamaica All Inclusive
Jamaica All Inclusive

Travel has always been a huge part of who I am, not just something I enjoy. As a military spouse for over two decades, travel became our way of staying connected to the world and to each other. My husband James’ 23 years of military service gave our family the opportunity to live, travel, and experience destinations in a way that goes far beyond a typical vacation. Traveling alongside James and our daughter Dakota shaped my love for culture, history, and meaningful experiences, and it is the foundation of how I plan travel today.

I am someone who believes that travel should feel personal, not cookie cutter. I genuinely enjoy learning what excites people, what matters to them, and what kind of memories they want to create. Whether it is a first cruise, a destination wedding, a long awaited bucket list trip, or a simple weekend away, I treat every trip with the same level of care and attention.

I specialize in Cruising, All Inclusive Resorts, Group and Destination Weddings, and Japan, and I can and have booked travel worldwide. From quick getaways to once in a lifetime vacations or large group and destination weddings with 200 plus people, I know how to manage the details, logistics, and moving pieces so you do not have to stress.

When you book with me, you are not just getting someone to make reservations. You are getting a dedicated travel planner who communicates clearly, advocates for you, and supports you before, during, and after your trip. I plan as little or as much as you want, always tailoring each experience to your travel style, needs, and priorities.

If you are looking for someone who truly cares about your experience and wants to help you travel with confidence and excitement, I would love to help you plan your next adventure. Let’s start creating memories you will talk about for years to come.

Increíble adventure
Reviewed By Tokyo the land of the stairs - Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Nara | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
We had an incredible family vacation and adventure in Japan. By having all our trip organized by Erin Shepherd makes our itinerary so easy to follow. We enjoyed the places we visited, being emerged in their culture and food was fantastic. Everywhere we ate the food was amazing. Most of the tour guides were excellen except the tour driver for the Fuji mountain, he wasn’t local and didn’t explain about historical places. He just told us the name, took us to the places and that’s it. Although the view it was phenomenal. We had a lot of walking and were exhausted at the end of the day, but we don’t regret it at all.
Erin Shepherd responded
"Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed your adventure. Thank you for your feedback on the Fuji tour. I apologize for that mishap. This tour is suppose to be led by a local so the fact that it wasn't is upsetting to me. I will be teaching out to the company to find out what is going on and correct this moving forward for future clients. I hope you will reach out to me for your next adventure. Remember there isn't anything I can't help you with. "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Erin makes travel planning easy!
Reviewed By Kyle and Carmen - Napa | Traveled to Napa Valley | California | USA
My wife and I have been working with Erin for the last couple of years. She quickly became our go to person for all of our travel needs. Erin makes travel planning super easy and convenient. On more than one occasion, she found better deals, which saved us a lot of money not to mention time it would've taken for me to extensively research everything. I highly recommend you reach out to her for your next trip!
