About Me

At the waterfall in La Fortuna Costa Rica
At the waterfall in La Fortuna Costa Rica

Hello! I’m Shannon, a passionate traveler with a lifelong love for exploration. My journey began at a young age, thanks to my parents, who instilled in me a deep appreciation for travel. Together, we explored nearly every corner of the United States and ventured across Europe.Throughout my life, I've lived in eight different states and even spent time in Germany. My experience as an active-duty military member further fueled my love for discovering new places and embracing diverse cultures. Cultural immersion is very important to me; I attended a French immersion school in sixth grade and am fluent in Spanish, a skill I developed growing up in Texas and frequently visiting Mexico.I've enjoyed delightful cruises and explored many Caribbean islands, often returning to Costa Rica, a place I hold dear. My passion for nature drives my commitment to the environment, making ecotourism and sustainable travel central to my adventures.Currently, I'm on a journey through Central and South America, with exciting plans to also visit Morocco, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cuba. Recently, I had the pleasure of exploring the breathtaking Turks and Caicos Islands, as well as the Dominican Republic, and I’ve cherished my time in the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman.Travel is not just a hobby for me; it's a way of life that enriches my soul. I look forward to where my wanderlust will take me next!

Here's some other things I specialize in!

If you want a personalized travel experience in Central or South America, I can provide you with exclusive insights. I travel there often. I’ve also trained and traveled to Florida Vacation Destinations and live and travel there. As a Central Florida Insider Specialist, I can create a vacation in Florida with insider knowledge and expertise. I can also help you plan a river or ocean cruise in the United States, Europe, South America, Australia, New Zealand, or Asia. If you want to travel to the Bourbon Capital of the World, Kentucky, I lived there and am intimately familiar with the local businesses and craft expert level packages there.

Client Testimonials

Excellent Experience
Shannon is a wonderful person to have create your travel itinerary. She is a seasoned traveler and knowledgeable travel agent. She does an excellent job at providing information you would otherwise not have known and finding the best places to stay and eat. I didn't have to do anything and it was so stress free. She has a lot of experience traveling and each place we went on her recommendation was memorable. She helped at every point in the travel and we were very pleased with the experience. She was a professional, friendly, easy to work with and knowledgeable, and most of all, it was a value to have nothing fall through during our trip or travel mishaps that would have cost time and money when we only wanted to relax and make the most of the time we had on vacation. I highly recommend using her as your travel agent.
