About Me

Adventure has always been in my DNA. From my earliest family vacations to my most recent explorations, I’ve chased the thrill of discovery and the joy that comes with stepping into new worlds. I’m thrilled to embark on my journey as a travel agent, fueled by a lifelong passion for exploration, discovery, and the shared magic that travel brings.

While I may be new to the professional side of travel planning, my personal experience runs deep.  I’ve cruised across sparkling oceans, embarked on spontaneous road trips, and crafted unforgettable itineraries across multiple continents. Every experience has helped me develop a keen understanding of what transforms a good trip into a truly extraordinary one. That same passion has driven my lifelong love for theme parks as places where imagination, creativity, and adventure merge into something truly immersive.

Over the years, I’ve become a true Theme Park expert, staying up to date on every new attraction, resort opening, and seasonal event that can shape a traveler’s experience. From navigating park layouts to mastering crowd strategies and uncovering hidden gems, I’ve learned all the insider secrets that make each visit both exciting and effortless. Whether it’s your first time meeting your favorite characters or your tenth visit chasing the biggest roller coasters, I know how to help you plan an experience tailored precisely to your interests, pace, and budget.

My goal is simple: to make travel planning as stress-free and enjoyable as the journey itself. I believe that no two vacations should ever be the same, because no two travelers are alike. Every client I work with brings their own dreams, priorities, and travel style. I take pride in listening closely, understanding their vision, and translating it into a seamless itinerary. From theme park adventures and cruise getaways to cultural tours and immersive family trips, I love finding those perfect touches that turn logistics into lasting memories.

Above all, I want every traveler I help to feel the same sense of wonder I’ve felt throughout my own journeys. Your adventure should be more than just a trip. It should be a story you’ll tell for years to come. With meticulous planning, personalized recommendations, and a genuine enthusiasm for every destination, I’m here to turn your travel aspirations into unforgettable realities. Whether you’re dreaming of the ultimate theme park vacation, a relaxing cruise, or a globe-spanning adventure, together we’ll bring your perfect trip to life, down to the very last magical detail.

A travel agent you can trust when the chips are down
Reviewed By Dannie - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Alaska | USA
For years Scott has been our go-to travel guide. Every year we cruise with our family of 10. Getting everyone there from across the country on time is no small feat! This summer after an unforgettable Alaskan cruise we returned to Vancouver to discover Air Canada was on strike-most likely for the next whole week. All alternative flights were booked. People were paying huge sums just to get a ride overnight to the US. Scott told us to go enjoy Queen Elizabeth Park while he found a way home for us. That day he unearthed a small commuter airline and booked us on the last 2 seats to Portland, and we were on our way home the next day. You can trust Shumba travel to be there for you when things don’t go as planned!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful Mississippi River cruise

Shumba Travel has provided excellent service in our ocean cruises, river cruises, hotel bookings, flights and rental cars. It has been a wonderful feeling to turn everything over to Scott and rest confidently that every detail will be covered. All we have to do is sit back and enjoy.

A Wonderful River Cruise
Reviewed By Bante - Winfield, IL | Traveled to New Orleans | Louisiana | USA
It was our first river cruise and we wanted to try it out on the Mississippi. We flew to New Orleans where the cruise line put us up for the night and then picked us up for the cruise. All was terrific and especially the on board lectures about the historic sites and significant personalities of that area. All was well organized; food great; staff always personable and helpful; an upbeat atmosphere the entire time; met wonderful people.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
