About Me

With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, I am passionate about curating unforgettable travel experiences for my clients. My journey has taken me to a wide range of destinations, and with each trip, I’ve gathered firsthand knowledge and insider tips to share with you, ensuring that your next adventure is seamless and extraordinary.One of my absolute favorite cities is Rome, a destination I’ve been fortunate enough to visit twice. From the ancient wonders like the Colosseum and the Roman Forum to the stunning Vatican City, I know exactly where to go and what to do to make your Roman holiday both enriching and unforgettable. Rome is a city that blends history, art, culture, and modern vibrancy like no other, and I’m excited to help you experience all its magic firsthand.Another destination I hold dear to my heart is Ireland, a country I’ve had the pleasure of visiting three times. From the bustling capital of Dublin to the serene beauty of the Irish countryside, even up to Northern Ireland, I can help you plan the perfect Irish getaway—whether you’re seeking history, culture, or simply the charm of a cozy pub and a pint of Guinness.In addition to my love for Europe, I’ve also sailed on 19 cruises with some of the best cruise lines including Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, Holland America, MSC, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, and Royal Caribbean. Sailing to top destinations like Alaska, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mexico, and the Mediterranean. From the icy glaciers of Alaska to the sun-drenched beaches of the Caribbean and Mexico, I've explored a wide range of destinations including the Mediterranean, the Bahamas, and beyond. This vast cruise experience allows me to offer expert guidance on choosing the best ships, itineraries, and shore excursions, ensuring that you get the most out of your time at sea.One of my favorite cruise destinations is Alaska, a place I’ve had the pleasure of cruising to three times. From the towering glaciers to the rugged wilderness and charming port towns like Ketchikan and Juneau, Alaska is a destination that’s as awe-inspiring as it is unique. With firsthand experience on several Alaskan itineraries, I can guide you in choosing the best cruise lines, shore excursions, and must-see sights to make the most of your Alaskan adventure—whether you' re looking to explore Denali National Park, go whale watching, or experience the majesty of a glacier up close.Whether you’re dreaming of an Italian escape, an Irish adventure, or a cruise to your favorite destination, I am here to help plan a trip that’s just right for you. Let’s work together to create your next unforgettable travel experience!

Attention to details
Reviewed By Kathy - Glendale, AZ | Traveled to Caribbean
I have had Shelli book cruises for me since 2012. I knew how organized and knowledgeable she was but I really learned about her attention to detail this past summer. I went on a cruise with my NY family (organized by their travel agent). I kept saying "Shelli would have....." because the other travel agent did not share the level of information that Shelli shares (especially for newer travelers). Shelli makes suggestions about dining and excursions and even helps with luggage tags. She also makes suggestions for hotels near ports (and where to stay on a pretty full ship when I was late to book.) The other travel agent did none of those things except to take the original group booking. I'm so glad I've had Shelli for my trips....almost ready for her to help with a trip to Ireland! Kathy
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

20 years working with Shelli
Reviewed By LuAnn - Beatrice, NE | Traveled to Caribbean
I have had Shelli as my TA for at least 20 years. She knows exactly what we like when we cruise and gives me the best advice on ships, rooms and ports. That’s why I’ve followed her from her last company. If you want someone who will always listen and follow up with you then she’s your gal. Thanks Shel, for everything.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Well arranged
Reviewed By Mickey634 - Peoria AZ | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Shelli did a great job arranging our whale watching excursion. She found a hotel with a great view, located whale watching boats and booked the tours, and recommended all inclusive which was an excellent idea. I greatly appreciated Shelli's experience and recommendations.
